Question

The ratio in which the line segment joining A(3, 4) and B(-2, 1) is divided by the y-axis is

Answer 1

Answer:

4 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

because A(3,4)then the 3 is X axis and the 4 is Y axis

like that B(-2,1)in this -2 is X axis and 1 is Y axis

Answer 2

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

since the line segment is divided by y axis

therfore, consider point of division as (0,y) .........since on y axis x coordinate=0

use section formula to calculate the value of ratio (m/n)

take the x(coordinate of the point of division) = m(-2) + n(3) / m+n

since, above taken x = 0

therefore, 0= -2m+3n/m+n

by cross multiplying , 0= -2m+3n

therefore, 2m=3n

m/n=3/2
