उत्तर
Let P(x , 0 ) be the point of intersection of x-axis with the line segment joining A (3, 6) and B (12, −3) which divides the line segment AB in the ratio λ : 1 .
Now according to the section formula if point a point P divides a line segment joining `A (x_1 ,y_1)" and " B (x_2 , y_2) ` in the ratio m: n internally than,
`P(x , y) =((nx_1 + mx_2)/(m+n) , (ny_1 + my_2)/(m+n))`
Now we will use section formula as,
`(x , 0) = ((12lambda + 3 ) / ( lambda + 1) , (-3lambda + 6 ) / ( lambda + 1 )) `
Now equate the y component on both the sides,
`(-3lambda + 6 )/(lambda + 1) = 0`
On further simplification,
`lambda = 2/1`
So x-axis divides AB in the ratio `2/1`
