Question

C (4,p) is the midpoint of the segment joining the points A (3,9) and B (q,7).

Find the values of p and q.​

Answer 1

Answer:

p=8 and q=5

Step-by-step explanation:

midpoint = ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)

(4,p) = ((3+q)/2 , (9+7)/2)

(3+q)/2 = 4 (1)       and (9+7)/2 = p  (2)

(1)                                      (2)

   (3+q)/2 = 4                         (9+7)/2 = p

   3+q = 8                               16/2 =p

   q = 5                                   8 = p

There p=8 and q=5
