Let our points be A(5, -6) and B(-1, -4).
Let point C(0, y) divide the line formed by joining by the points A and B in ratio of m:n.
By section formula,
Solving for x coordinate,
0 = \(\frac{m\times(-1)+n\times5}{m+n}\)
∴ m = 5n
∴ \(\frac{m}n\) = \(\frac{5}1\)
∴ m : n = 5 : 1
Now solving for y coordinate, with m = 5 and n = 1,
y = \(\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\)
y = \(\frac{-4\times5-6}{6}\)
∴ y = \(\frac{-13}6\)
There is no need to solve for x, as our point lies on y-axis
Hence, the coordinates of required point is C( 0,\(\frac{-13}6\))
