Question

Find the value of x for which point A(x/5,2 ) is the midpoint of the line segment joining the
points P(-5,4 ) and R(-1,0).​

Answer 1

Coordinates of midpoint are (x,y)

x=(x1+x 2)

2

y=(y1+y2)

2

According to the question:

According to the question:x= (-5-1)

2

=--3

i.e.,x=-3

5

x=-15

coordinate of mid point =(−3,2)

coordinate of mid point =(−3,2)so, a=−15

Hope this is helpfull !!!
