The correct Answer is:
To find the ratio in which the X-axis divides the line segment joining the points \( A(3, -6) \) and \( B(4, 5) \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We need to find the ratio in which the X-axis (which has a y-coordinate of 0) divides the line segment joining the points \( A(3, -6) \) and \( B(4, 5) \). ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation Let the ratio in which the X-axis divides the segment \( AB \) be \( m:n \). The coordinates of the point dividing the segment in the ratio \( m:n \) can be found using the section formula: \[ C\left( \frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n} \right) \] Here, \( (x_1, y_1) = (3, -6) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) = (4, 5) \). ### Step 3: Apply the Section Formula We need to find the y-coordinate of point \( C \) when it lies on the X-axis, which is \( 0 \). Using the section formula for the y-coordinate: \[ y_C = \frac{m \cdot 5 + n \cdot (-6)}{m+n} = 0 \] ### Step 4: Solve the Equation Setting the equation to zero gives: \[ m \cdot 5 - n \cdot 6 = 0 \] Rearranging this, we have: \[ 5m = 6n \] ### Step 5: Find the Ratio From the equation \( 5m = 6n \), we can express the ratio \( \frac{m}{n} \): \[ \frac{m}{n} = \frac{6}{5} \] Thus, the ratio \( m:n = 6:5 \). ### Conclusion The X-axis divides the line segment joining the points \( (3, -6) \) and \( (4, 5) \) in the ratio \( 6:5 \). ---
