Question

Find the ratio in which the line segment
joining
the point (2, 3) and (6,-4) is divided
by x-axis.​

Answer 1

Answer:

m:n = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

let point A be the point on x axis which divide the point (2,3) and point (6,-4)

coordinates of point A will be (x,0)

let point (2,3)= (X1, Y1)

( 6,-4)=(X2,Y2)

by section formula,

$\frac{my2 \: + ny1}{m + n} = 0$

after solving you will get ,

m: n = 3/4
