The given line will bisect the join of A (5, −2) and B (−1, 2),
if the co-ordinates of the mid-point of AB satisfy the equation of the line.
The co-ordinates of the mid-point of AB are (2,0)
Substituting x = 2 and y = 0 in the given equation,
we have:
L.H.S. = 3x − 5y = 3(2) − 5(0) = 6 − 0 = 6 = R.H.S.
Hence, the line 3x − 5y = 6 bisect the join of (5, −2) and (−1, 2).
