To solve the problem of finding the ratio in which the line segment joining points A(1, -5) and B(-4, 5) is divided by the x-axis, and also to find the coordinates of the point of division, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the problem We need to find the point where the line segment joining A and B intersects the x-axis. The coordinates of any point on the x-axis can be represented as (x, 0). ### Step 2: Set up the coordinates Let the coordinates of the point of intersection on the x-axis be C(x, 0). We will assume that the ratio in which the line segment AB is divided by the x-axis is k:1. ...
