Question

Midpoint of A and B is (3,5), point A is on the x-axis, point B is on the y-axis what are the coordinates of the two points?

Answer 1

hi

here is the solution

as A lies on x-axis we will consider A to be (a,0)

and as B lies on y-axis we will consider it to be (0,b)

midpoint of A and B is (((a+0)/2),((0+b)/2)=(a/2 , b/2 )

given, (a/2,b/2) = (3,5)

therefore,

a=6, b=10

therefore,

A=(6,0) and B=(0,10)
