Question

The coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining the points A(2p+1,4) and B(5,q-1) are (2p,q).Find the values of p and q.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The value of 'p' is => 2p+1 = 5

=> p = 2

2. The value of 'q' is => 4 = q-1

=> q = 5

3. Therefore the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining the points A(2p+1,4) and B(5,q-1) is = (2p,q)

= ( 2×2, 5)

= ( 4, 5)
