Question

find the ratio in which the y- axis divides the line segment joining the points A(-4,2) and B(3,9). also find the coordinates of the points
answer it as fast as possible ​

Answer 1

Answer:

x1=5,x2=−1,y1=−6 and y2=−4. Let the required ratio be k:1. According to the question, the point of division is on the y-axis, hence the x- coordinate of that point is 0. Hence, the ratio in which the y-axis divides the line segment is 5:1.
