In what ratio does the x-axis divide the line segment joining the points (-4, -6) and (-1, 7). Also, find the coordinates of the point of division.
Let the line segment joining the points (-4, -6) and (-1, 7) be divided by the point on x-axis (x, 0) in the ratio k: 1.
Using section formula, we have:
Required ratio is 6:
7
Thus, the coordinates of the point
of division are .
