Question

Find the ratio in which the line segment joining A (1, –5) and B (–4, 5) is divided by the x-axis. Also find the coordinates of the point of division.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know sorry very sorry

Answer 2

Answer: k=1

coordinates of point of division ( -3/2 ,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

_________________________________

A (1 ,-5)                  Q (K:1)                             B (-4,5)

m1= k , m2 = 1

let the ratio in which line segment joining  A(1,-5) ,B (-4 ,5) is divided by k:1

so Q( x ,y ) = -4k+1/k+1 , 5k-5/k+1

5k-5/k+1 = 0

5k-5 =0

5k =5

k= 1

-4k+1/k+1

-4(1) +1 /1+1

-4+1/2

-3/2

now, 5k-5/k+1

5(1) -5 /1+1

5-5/2

0/2

0

so the answer is

K=1

Q(x, y ) = -3/2,0
