Question

the ratio in which the line segment joining the points A(-12,2) B (8,3) is divided by the y axis is
​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the ratio be k:1 and let p be the point dividing be (0,y) {since question says the point is on y axis}than

0=8k-12/k+1{using formula}

8k-12=0

8k=12

k/1=12/8

k/1=3/8

hence,ratio is 3:8
