Question

The ratio in which the line segment joining A(3,-5) and B(5,4)is divided by x-axis​

Answer 1

Answer:

5:4

Step-by-step explanation:

using section formula ,

P(x,y)= (mx2+nx1/m+n, my2+ny1/m+n)

given pts are (3,-5) ,(5,4)

let x-axis divides the line segment in the ratio r:1

since point which is dividing the line segment lies on x-axis, y-coordinate will be 0

y=-5(1)+4(r)/r+1

-5+4r=0

4r=5

r=5/4
