Question 5:
Find the ratio in which the line segment joining A (1, − 5) and B (− 4, 5) is divided by the x-axis. Also find the coordinates of the point of division.
Answer:
Let the ratio in which the line segment joining A (1, −5) and B (−4, 5) is divided by x-axisbe k : 1.
Therefore, the coordinates of the point of division is
We know that y-coordinate of any point on x-axis is 0.
Therefore, x-axis divides it in the ratio 1:1.
Division point =
