Question

If o ( m 2 ) is the midpoint of the line segment joining the point q ( - 7,3 ) and ( - 5,1 ) then find value of m

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

...................1...................._..........................1....................

q(-7,3)                       o(m,2)                                 p(-5,1)

since o is the mid point of qp therefore o divides line seg. qp in 1:1 ratio

now we know the formula for internal division of a line segment

m=((-5×1) + (-7×1))/(1+1)

m = (-5-7)/2

m = -12/2

m=-6
