Question

find the ratio in which the segment joining the points (5,-6) and (-1,4) is divided by x axis

Answer 1

Hey.. I think this can be ur answer dear!!

Let the ratio be k:1
So,
The coordinates of point P (x, 0)

Now,
P(x,0) = (-k+5/k+1 , 4k-6/k+1)
So,
0= 4k-6
k=6/4=3/2
k:1=3:2
The ratio in which line is divided is 3:2

Hope it helps you dear ☺️☺️
