Question

The x-axis divides the line segment joining A(-1,4)and B(3,- 7)at a point P. The point P divides AB internally in the ratio. a) 2:3
b) 4:7
c) 2:7
d) 5:7​

Answer 1

Let m:n be the ratio in which point P divides line segment AB and let (x,y) be the coordinates of the point P. Since, P is the point of intersection of line AB with the x−axis, the y−coordinate of P equals 0. Therefore, the required ratio is 4:3.
