Answer:
Let the coordinates of A and Bare (x, 0) and (0, y).
So x = mx2+ nx1/ m + n, y = my2 + ny1/m + n
m = 2, n = 3
x1 = 4, x2 = 4
y1 = - 5, y2 = 5
∴ x = 2 × 3 + 3 × 4/2 + 3 = 8 + 12/5 = 20/5 = 4
y = 2 × 5 + 3 × – 5/2 + 3
= 10 – 15/5 = - 5/5 = - 1
∴ Co-ordinate of P are (4, - 1)
Thus, the coordinate of midpoints of
AB = (x + 0/2, y + 0/2)
= (x/2, y/2)
According to question, the coordinate of mid-point = (4, - 3)
∴ x/2 = 4, x = 8
y/2 = - 3, y = - 6
∴ The required points are (8, 0) and (0, - 6).
I hope that this answer helpful to you........
