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.
thank you
