According to the Section formula, if a point P(x, y) that lies on a line Segment AB joining points $A(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and $B(x_{2}, y_{2})$ divides the line in the ratio m :n, then the Coordinates can be.Coordinates = (x, y) = $\left( \frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n} \right)$.Let the point P(x, 0) divide the segment joining A(- 4, 5) and B(0, - 10) in the ratio m :n, then(x, 0) = $\left( \frac{m \times 0 + n(-4)}{m+n}, \frac{m(-10)+n(5)}{m+n} \right)$0 = $\frac{-10m+5n}{m+n}$-10m + 5n = 0-10m = -5n$\frac{m}{n} = \frac{5}{10}$$\frac{m}{n} = \frac{1}{2}$$m:n = 1:2$
