Question

Find the ratio in which the y-axis divides the line segment joining the
points (6, 41) and (- 2. – 7). Also find the point of intersection.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ratio is 1:3 or 3:1.

point of interesection = (0,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

let m:n be the ratio.

At y-axis, x coordinate is zero. So,

0 = -2m+6n / m+n

0 = -2m+6n

2m = 6n

m/n = 6/2

= 3/1

So,

m:n = 3:1

Now y coordinate,

y = (-7×3 + 41×1) / 3+1

= -21+41 / 4

= 20/4

= 5
