Question

Find the ratio in which the y axis divides the segment joining the points (4 ,-6) and (-7,-4).

Answer 1

hey here is your answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C(0,y) divide line segment joining A(4,-6) and B(-7,-4) in ratio k:1

Then,

C(0,y) = ( -7k+4/k+1 , -4k-6/k+1 )

-7k+4/k+1 = 0

-7k+4 = 0

k = 4/7

Putting value of k on the other side u get value of y -38/3.

Coordinates of point on y axis is (0,-38/3).
