Exercise 14.3

(i) At what ratio is the segment joining the points $(-2,-3)$ and $(3,7)$ divides by the y-axis? find out the coordinates of the point of division.(ii) At what ratio is the line segment joining $(-3,-1)$ and $(-8,-9)$ divided at the point $(-5, -21/5)$?

Let’s consider P$(-2,-3)$ and Q$(9,3)$ be the given points. Let’s Suppose we have the y-axis that divides PQ in the ratio k:$1$ at R($0$, y) So, the coordinates of R are as given below Now, on...
