Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know
X1+x2/2, y1+y2/2 = is the mid point
Therefore here
-5+x/2=0
X-5=0
X=5

The value of x is equal to 5.
Given that a point P on the y-axis bisects the line joining the points (-5, 3) and ( x, 5) .
Taking the coordinates of point P as (0,y) because point P lies on the y-axis it's x-coordinate will be zero.
Using midpoint theorem to find the value of x
=> 0 = (-5 + x)/2
=> x = 5
=> y = (3+5)/2 = 4
The coordinates of the point P is (0,4).
