Let the Point which is dividing them be P and its coordinates be (x, y).
Since its y axis it is(0 , y).
And the ratio be
BY SECTION FORMULA WE KNOW,
FOR COORDINATE OF y,
we can either use section Formula or mid Point formula because the ratio in which they are divided is same.
By midpoint theorem,
So, the coordinates of y axis be (0 , -2)
and the ratio in which they are divided is 1 : 1.
