Question

Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points (2, 3) and (-1, -5) is
divided by x-axis.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

X=1/6 & Y=13/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for this is (M1X2+M2X1 / M1+m2, M1Y2 +M2Y1 / M1+ M2)

Here we have to find like divided by x-axis, so the y= 1

M1= X &M2 =1

According to formula,(-X+ 2 /X+2, -5X+3 /X+2)

Since y=1 then, -5X+3/X+2 =1

-5x+3= x+2

-5x-x=2-3

-6x=-1

x=1/6 so putting value this in-x+2/x+2

-1/6+2/1/6+2 = 11/6/13/6

so we get y= 13/11
