Question

A line interest the y axis and x axis at the point p and q resp if 2,-5 is the mid point of pq find the coordinates of p an q

Answer 1

Heya User,

→ Line Cuts x-axis and y-axis 

=> Intercepts are : P( x , 0 ) ; Q( 0 , y )

→ Applying mid-point theorem on both points, 

    -> ( x / 2 ) = 2    ;   ( y / 2 ) = -5

   =>     x = 4         ;        y     = -10

Hence, the two points are : P( 4 , 0 ) and Q( 0 , -10 )
