Question

The line y=0 divides the line joining the points (3,5) and (4,7) in the ratio:
  1. 3:4
  2. 4:5
  3. 5:7
  4. 7:9

A
4:5
B
3:4
C
7:9
D
5:7
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is C 5:7
Let the ratio be m:1.
Then, the y co-ordinate of the point =m(7)+1(5)m+1
m(7)+1(5)m+1=0m=57 .... [y=0]
Hence, m:1=5:7
Option C is true
