1.

If the mid-point of the line joining (3, 4) and (k, 7) is (x, y) and 2x + 2y + 1 = 0 find the value of k.

Answer»

As (x , y) is the mid-point

x = (3 + k)/ 2 and y = (4 + 7)/ 2 = 11/2

Also,

Given that the mid-point lies on the line 2x + 2y + 1 = 0

2[(3 + k)/ 2] + 2(11/2) + 1 = 0

3 + k + 11 + 1 = 0

Thus, k = -15
