Question

The ratio in which X-axis divides the lne segment joining the points (5,4) and (2,-3) is- *
5:2
3:4
4:3
2:5​

Answer 1

the ratio is m:n or m/n:1 or k:1, k=m/n

let the ratio be k:1

x axis means that y=0

let the coordinate intersecting the 2 points be (h,0)

0 = €(-3)+1+1(4)/€+1 (y = mx1 + nx2 / m+n)

0= -3€ +4

3€ = 4

€ = 4/3

m/n = 4/3

therefore x axis divides it in the ratio 4:3. (c)

I hope I was able to answer you.
