Answer:
Let x-axis divides the line segment joining the points (2, –3) and (5,6) in the ratio k:1.
Then, by using section formula, the point at which x-axis intersects the line segment is given by
P =
(
5
k
+
2
k
+
1
,
6
k
−
3
k
+
1
)
It is known as the y ordinate of any point on the x-axis is 0
6
k
−
3
k
+
1
=
0
6
k
−
3
=
0
k
=
3
6
=
1
2
Thus, x-axis divides the line segment joining the points (2, –3) and (5,6) in the ratio 1:2.
