Answer 2

The ratio, k : 1 = 3 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Line segment joining points A(1, 0) and B(-1, 0)

Let the coordinate of the point be P(0, 0) and ratio be k : 1

Assume m = k, n = 1

Using section formula: $( \frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})$

Substitute the values,we get

P(x, 0) = $(\frac{k(-1)+1}{k+1}, \frac{k(0)+1(0)}{k+1})$

P(0, 0) = $(\frac{-k+3}{k+1}, \frac{0}{k+1})$

P(0, 0) = $(\frac{-k+3}{k+1},0)$

Comparing both sides, we get

$0 = \frac{-k + 3}{k+1}$                      

-k + 3 = 0

k = 3

Therefore, the ratio, k : 1 = 3 : 1
