Answer:
Something like this
Step-by-step explanation:
distance √(-1 - 5)² + (-6 - -4)² = √36 + 4 = √40 = 6.32
slope = 2/-6 = -1/3
distance (-1,-4) to (0, -4.63)
√(-1 - 0)² + (-4 - -4.63...)² = √1.4 = 1.18
6.32 - 1.18 = 5.14
1.18 : 5.14
Answer:
ratio 5:1
coordinates (0,-13/3)
Step-by-step explanation:
let any point on y-axis (0,y) divides the join of A(5,-6) and B(-1,-4) in the ratio k:1
[tex]0=\frac{-1(k)+1(5)}{k+1} \\or~0=-k+5\\or~ k=5\\\therefore ~y-axis~ divides ~A,B~in~the~ratio~5:1\\y=\frac{5(-4)+1(-6)}{5+1} =\frac{-26}{6} =-\frac{13}{3}[/tex]
so coordinates of point of intersection are (0,-13/3)
