The line joining points (2, –3) and (–5, 6)is divided by y-axis in the ratio

A

2 : 5

B

2 : 3

C

3 : 5

D

1 : 2

Answer

2 : 5

Explanation

Solution

Let ratio be k : 1 and coordinate of y-axis are (0, b). Therefore, 0=k(−5)+1(2)k+1⇒k=250 = \frac{k( - 5) + 1(2)}{k + 1} \Rightarrow k = \frac{2}{5}
