A line intersects the y axis and x axis


Asked by admin @ in Math viewed by 350 People


A line intersects the y axis and x axis at the points P and Q respectively . If ( 2 ,-5 ) is the mid point of PQ , then find the coordinates of P and Q .

Heya User,

→ Line Cuts x-axis and y-axis 

=> Intercepts are : P( x , 0 ) ; Q( 0 , y )

→ Applying mid-point theorem on both points, 
    -> ( x / 2 ) = 2    ;   ( y / 2 ) = -5
   =>     x = 4         ;        y     = -10

Hence, the two points are : P( 4 , 0 ) and Q( 0 , -10 )
