In what ratio is the line joining A(-5,3 ) and B (3, - 2) divided by the x- axis ?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Assuming the ratio to be k:1

Co ordinates of P (x,0) as it lies On x axis

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Section formula :-

$x= \frac{m1x2 + m2x1}{m1 + m2}$

$y= \frac{m1y2 + m2y1}{m1 + m2}$

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

$0 = \frac{ -2×k+ 1×3}{k+1}$

$0 = - 2k + 3 \\ \\ - 2k = - 3 \\ \\ k = \frac{3}{2}$

Hence Ratio is

$\frac{3}{2}:1$

$3:2$
