Question

If the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (a,b-2) and (-2,4) is (2,-3), then the value of a​

Answer 1

Answer:a=6,b=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

(a-2/2,b-2+4/2)=(2,-3)

(a-2/2,b+2/2)=(2,-3)

a-2=4. b+2=-6

a=6. b=-8

a=6,b=-8

a=6

Answer 2

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

points are (a, b-2) and (-2,4)

and midpoint is(2,-3)

so, x=2 and y=-3

x=(x1+x2)/2,according to the midpoint formula

2=(a-2)/2

4=a-2

a=6
