In what ratio the line segment joining the points (-2,-3) and (3,7) is divided by the y – axis ? Also, find the co – ordinates of the point of division
Let y-axis intersect the line segment joining the points A (-2,-3) and B(3,7) in the ratio at a point P(0,y).
So apply section formula in order to get,
Equate the x component to get,
Using the value of lamda we can get the co-ordinate of P as-
