1. Answer:

   Step-by-step explanation:

   Let the ratio be k:1.

   Since the point is on x-axis, the coordinates will be (x,0).

   Now using the section formula,

   0 = [6*1+(-3)*k]/k+1

   0 = [6-3K]/k+1

   k+1 = 6-3k

   k-5 = -3k

   -5 = -4k

   5/4=k

   Therefore, the ratio is 5/4:1

   = 5:4
