Answer: 3 : 1
Step-by-step explanation:
x1 = -3 , y1 = -4 , x2 = 1 , y2 = -2
When it is divided by y-axis, x = 0.
{The equation for y-axis is x = 0}
We know that the point ( x , y ) divides ( x1 , y1 ) and ( x2 , y2 ) in the ratio
x1 - x : x - x2 or y1 - y : y - y2.
Since we know x value:
x1 - x : x - x2
= -3 - 0 : 0 - 1
= -3 : -1
= 3 : 1
