Question
In what ratio does y-axis divide the line segment joining the points (-4, 7) and (3, -7)?
Solution
Let y-axis divides the e segment pining the points ( -4,7) and (3,- 7) in the ratio K : 1 Then
`0= (3k-4)/(k+1) `
`⇒ 3k = 4`
`⇒ k = 4/3 `
Hence, the required ratio is 4:3

(Street Plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.
All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines.
There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the 2nd street running in the North - South direction and 5th in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find:
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (4, 3).
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
