Question

find the midpoint of a line segment joining the points p(x,2) and q(3,-6) is 10 units
then find x​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x,2) & Q(3,-6) x1 = x, x2 = 3

Midpoint(P, Q) = 10

Midpoint formula :-

x= x1 + x2

10 = x + 3

10 × 2 = x+3

x + 3 = 20

x = 20 - 3

[x = 17]
