उत्तर
The ratio in which the x−axis divides two points `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` is λ : 1
The ratio in which the y-axis divides two points `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` is μ : 1
The coordinates of the point dividing two points `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` in the ratio m:n is given as,
`(x,y) = (((lambdax_2 + x_1)/(lambda + 1))","((lambday_2 + y_1)/(lambda + 1)))` Where `lambda = m/n`
Here the two given points are A(−2,−3) and B(5,6).
The ratio in which the y-axis divides these points is `(5mu - 2)/3 = 0`
`=> mu= 2/5`
Let point P(x, y) divide the line joining ‘AB’ in the ratio 2: 5
Substituting these values in the earlier mentioned formula we have,
`(x,y) = (((2/5(5) + (-2))/(2/5 + 1))","((2/5(6) + (-3))/(2/5 + 1)))`
`(x,y) = ((((10 + 5(-2))/5)/((2 + 5)/5)) "," (((12 + 5(-3))/3)/((2 + 5)/5)))`
`(x,y) = ((0/7)","(- 3/7))`
`(x,y) = (0, - 3/7)`
Thus the ratio in which the x-axis divides the two given points and the co-ordinates of the point is 2:5 and `(0, - 3/7)`

A tiling or tessellation of a flat surface is the covering of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. Historically, tessellations were used in ancient Rome and in Islamic art. You may find tessellation patterns on floors, walls, paintings etc. Shown below is a tiled floor in the archaeological Museum of Seville, made using squares, triangles and hexagons.
A craftsman thought of making a floor pattern after being inspired by the above design. To ensure accuracy in his work, he made the pattern on the Cartesian plane. He used regular octagons, squares and triangles for his floor tessellation pattern
