Find the value of x for which point A(x/5,2 ) is the midpoint of the line segment joining thepoints P(-5,4 ) and R(-1,0). About the author Parker
Coordinates of midpoint are (x,y) x=(x1+x 2) 2 y=(y1+y2) 2 According to the question: According to the question:x= (–5–1) 2 =–-3 i.e.,x=–3 5 x=–15 coordinate of mid point =(−3,2) coordinate of mid point =(−3,2)so, a=−15 Hope this is helpfull !!! Reply
Coordinates of midpoint are (x,y)

According to the question:
According to the question:x= (–5–1)
2
=–-3
i.e.,x=–3
5
x=–15
coordinate of mid point =(−3,2)
coordinate of mid point =(−3,2)so, a=−15
Hope this is helpfull !!!
