Question

Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points A(-2,-3) and B(2,- 1) is divided by y axis​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

divided by y axis => x-coordinate = 0

Given points are points A(-2,-3) and B(2,- 1)

Let the ratio in which the line segment joining the points is m:n

Applying section formula,

2m - 2n

------------ = 0 => 2m = 2n => m / n = 2 / 2 =1

m + n

.•. m : n = 1 : 1
