Points a, p and b are collinear on ab, and pb: ab= 2/7. a is located at the orgin, p is located at (10,-5) and b is located at (x, y). which axis is closer to b , the axis or the y-axis ?

A (0,0) is at the origin.
P is at (10, -5).

Let the coordinates of B be (x,y).
Because A,  B, and P are collinear and PB : AB = 2/7, therefore
x = (7/9)*10 = 7.78
y = (7/9)*(-5) = -3.89

The distance between B and the x-axis is 3.89
The distance between B and the y-axis s 7.78

The x-axis is closer to B
