Question

The ratio in which y-axis divides the line segment joining the points A(5, -6) and B(-1, -4) is
: 3
5 : 1
1 : 5
4 : 1

Answer 1

Answer:

2:1

Step-by-step explanation:

coordinate of y-axis=(0,y)

so let point be h at which y-axis divide this point

h(x)=m1×x2+m2×x1/m1+m2

therefore,0=m1×-1 + m2×5 /m1+m2

(m1+m2)×0 = -m1 + 5m2

m1=5m2

m1/m2 =5/1

=> m1:m2 = 5:1
