Question

Pls answer this as soon as possible ​

Answer 1

Answer: The required ratio is 6 : 7

Step-by-step explanation

Let P be the point where the x-axis divides the line segment

Let the ratio be k : 1

The coordinates of point P is (x,0)

{y=0 because P is a point on x-axis so 'y' coordinate of point P is 0}

Therefore,  using the section formula

y = $\frac{1 * -6 + k * 7}{k + 1}$

0  = $\frac{-6 + 7k}{k + 1}$

0 =  -6 + 7k    (i multiplied k=1 with 0........(k+1) x0 = 0)

6  =  7k

6/7  = k

k : 1  =  6/7 : 1

k/1  =  6/7/1

Therefore k : 1 = 6 : 7

Hope this helps !!!
