Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-3×-3-4×4÷2×2-5×5

7/18 ans

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf Let\:the\:x\:axis\:divides\:the\:line\:joining \:poits \: (5,4) \:and\:(2,-3)\:be m : 1$

$\sf The\:y\:coordinate\:will\:be\:0$

$\sf using\:section\:formula$

$\sf 0 = \frac {my_{2} + ny_{1}}{m+n}$

$\sf 0 = \frac { m ( -3 ) + 1 ( 4 ) } {m + 1 }$

$\sf - 3m + 4 = 0$

$\sf m = \frac {4}{3}$

$\boxed {\bold{\sf {The\:x-axis\:divides\:in\:ratio\: 4: 3 }}}$
