Find the ratio in which the y-axis divides the line segment joining the points `(5,-6) and (-1, -4)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the point be A(5,−6), B(−1,−4), and P(0,y)
Point P is on the y−axis, hence its x coordinate is 0. So, it is of the form P(0,y).
Now, we have to find the ratio. Let the ratio be k:1 Hence `m_1=k, m_2=1, x_1 =5, y_1 =−6, x_2=−1,y_2=−4, x=0 `
