Answer:
a=2
b=4
Step-by-step explanation:
according to the theorem,
abscissa of the mid point
= sum of the abscissa of the ends/2
therefore,
2={3a+(-2)}/2
=> 3a-2=4
=> 3a=6
=> a=2
also,
ordinate of the mid point
= sum of the ordinates of the end/2
therefore,
2a+2=(4+2b)/2
=> 6×2=4+2b
=> 2b=12-4
=> b=8/2
=> b=4
