MCQ
In what ratio does x-axis divide the line segment joining the points A(2, -3) and B(5, 6)?
  • 1: 2
  • B
    3:5
  • C
    2:1
  • D
    2:3

Answer

Correct option: A.
1: 2
(A) $1: 2$
Explanation: Let the x axis cut AB at $P ( x , 0)$ in the ratio $K : 1$
Then $\frac{6 k-3}{k+1}=0 \Rightarrow 6 k-3-0 \Rightarrow 6 k=3 \Rightarrow k=\frac{1}{2}$
required ratio $=\left(\frac{1}{2}: 1\right)=1: 2$
