find the ratio in which the line segment joining A(1,-5)and B(-4,5) is divided by the x-axis . also find the coordinates of the point of division​

Answer»

-step EXPLANATION:Now we have to find ratioLet ratio be k:1Hencem 1 =k,m 2 =1x 1 =1,y 1 =−5x 2 =−4,y 2 =5Alsox=x,y=0Using section formulay= m 1 +m 2 m 1 y 2 +m 2 y 1 0= k+1k×5+1×(−5) ⇒0= k+15k−5 ⇒5k−5=0⇒5k=5∴k=1Now, for xx= m 1 +m 2 m 1 x 2 +m 2 x 2 = k+1k×(−4)+1×1 = 1+11×(−4)+1 = 2−4+1 = 2−3 Hence the coordinate of POINT is P(x,0)=P( 2−3 ,0)solutionAnswered Bytoppr667 ViewsHow SATISFIED are you with the answer?This will help US to improve betterhope it will help you
