Question

Question.16. Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points A(3, -3)
and B(-2, 7) is divided by x-axis. Also find the coordinates of the point of division.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let x axis divided line segment in k:1 ratio

y coordinate=7k-3/k+1=0

7k-3=0

k=3/7

ratio 3:7

x coordinate=3(-2)+7(3)/10=-6+21/10=15/10=3/2

(1.5,0)
