Question

In what ratio does the x-axis divide the line segment joining the points (-4,-6) and (-1,7) ?Find the coordinate of
the point of division.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let, A ( -4 ,-6) = (x1, y1)

B ( -1 , 7) = ( x2 ,y2)

p ( x , y ) =?

x = x1 + x2 / 2

= -4 + ( -1 ) /2

= -4 -1 /2

x = -5 /2

y = -6 + 7/2

y = 1 /2

The co-ordinate of point of division is (-5/2, 1/2)
