Question

find the ratio in which x -axis divides the join of A{2,-3} and B{5,6}​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio be k:1.

Since the point is on x-axis, the coordinates will be (x,0).

Now using the section formula,

0 = [6*1+(-3)*k]/k+1

0 = [6-3K]/k+1

k+1 = 6-3k

k-5 = -3k

-5 = -4k

5/4=k

Therefore, the ratio is 5/4:1

                                  = 5:4
