Question

If P (a/2, 4) is the midpoint of the line segment joining the points A (-6, 5) and B (-2, 3), find the value of a

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P(a/2,4) is the mid point of the line segment joining points A (-6,5) and B(-2,3)

P=(-6+(-2)/2,5+3/2)

= (-8/2,8/2)

= (-4,4)

P= (a/2,4)

Therefore, a/2= -4

a = -8
