Question

If P( 5, 6 ) is the mid-point of the line segment joining A( 6, 5 ) and B( 4, y ), then the value of y is ______​

Answer 1

Answer:

value of y is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

given line segment AB with coordinates, A(6,5) and B (4,Y)

Mid point p is given as (5,6)

Midpoint of a line segment A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2) is basically = ((x1+x2)/2),(y1+y2)/2)

So for the given question, (5,6) = ((6+4)/2,(5+y)/2)

(5+y)/2 = 6

y = 12-5 = 7
