1.	In what ratio is the line segment joining the points P(-2,-3) and Q(3,7)divided by the y-axis?
Answer» Let A (-2, -3) and B (3, 7)P (0, y) and ratio be K : 1Coordinate of P are {tex}\\left( {\\frac{{3k - 2}}{{k + 1}},\\frac{{7k - 3}}{{k + 1}}} \\right){/tex}{tex}\\frac{{3k - 2}}{{k + 1}} = 0{/tex}{tex} \\Rightarrow k = \\frac{2}{3}{/tex}\xa0or 2 : 3
