Answer:

The ratio of AC/CB=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the section formula:

(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})

We substitute the point A(-1.5,0) and B(4.5,8).

We plug in the points to get:

(\frac{4.5m - 1.5n}{m+n},\frac{8m+n \times 0}{m+n})

This is supposed to be equal to: (0,2).

(\frac{4.5m - 1.5n}{m+n},\frac{8m+n \times 0}{m+n}) = (0,2)

We can equate, corresponding coordinates to find m and n.

\frac{4.5m - 1.5n}{m + n}  = 0

This implies that:

4.5m - 1.5n = 0

4.5m  = 1.5n

\frac{m}{n}  =  \frac{1.5}{4.5}

\frac{m}{n}  =  \frac{1}{3}

Therefore the ratio is m:n=1:3
