प्रश्न
What is the ratio in which the line segment joining (2, -3) and (5, 6) is divided by x-axis?
विकल्प
1:2
2:1
2:5
5:2
उत्तर
1:2
Explanation:
Let the line joining points A (2, -3) and B (5, 6) be divided by point P (x, 0) in the ratio k:1.
y = `(ky_2 + y_1)/(k + 1)`
0 = `(k xx 6 + 1 xx (-3))/(k + 1)`
0 = 6k – 3
k = `1/2`
Thus, the required ratio is 1:2.
