A line intersects the y- axis and x-axis at the points P and Q respectively. If (5,-6) is the midpoint of PQ, then the coordinates of P and Q are :
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 )
