1. Answer:

   given

   two points are

   A(5,-3) and B(5,4)

   those two points divide the line in x axix

   therefore we let the dividing points is

   C(x,0)

   also let those two point divided in ratio m:n

   according to the question

   c(x,0)={(5n+5m)/m+n,(-3n+4m)/m+n}

   now comparing

   0=(-3n+4m)/m+n

   or o=-3n+4m

   or 4m=3n

   or m/n=3/4

   or m:n=3:4

   answer the line segments joining this point in 3:4 ratio
