Question

Find the ratio in which y- asix divides the line segment joining the points A( 5,-6) and B (-1,-4) .also find the co-ordinates of ponit of division

Answer 1

Since y-axis divides the line segment so the point where it divides is (0,y). Let the ratio in which it divides be k:1

the point is (0,-17/2) and ratio is 1:5
