Question

in what ratio does the axis divide the line segment joining the points A( - 4,3 ) and B(8,-6)?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is in above attachment ..

Answer 2

P( -34. )

( ___ ,0 )

( 13. )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the section formula, if a point (x, y) divides the line joining the points (x¹,y¹) and (x²,y²) in the ratio m:n then( x, y=) ( mx²+nx¹ , my²+ny¹)

( __mx²+nx², my¹+ny¹__ ______)

( m+n. m+n. )

Let coodinates of that point p(a,0) and it divides the ratio AB in the ratio k:1 .By section formula, y-coordinate of p.

0=7k -6

____

k+1

=k=6/7

= AB

___ =6/7

PB

and x-coodinats,

a=-4
