In what ratio does the X-axis divide the line segment joining the points (2, -3) and (5, 6) ? |
Answer» Let the required ratio be k : 1. Then the coordinates of the point of division are (5λ+2/k+1,6λ-3/k+1). But, it is a point on X-axis on which y-coordinate of every point is zero. So, 6λ-3/k+1=0 => k=1/2 Thus, the required ratio is 1/2: 1 or 1 : 2. |
