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).
