The midpoint of the line segment joining A (2a, 4) and B (-2, 3b) is C (1, 2a + 1). Find the values of a and b. |
Answer» Mid point of the line segment joining the points A(2a, 4) and B (-2, 3b) is C(1, 2a + 1) Mid point of AB = ( (2a-2)/2, (4+3b)/2 ) ….(1) Mid point of AB = (1, 2a + 1) ….(2) (given) Now, from (1) and (2) 1 = (2a-2)/2 => a = 2 and 2a + 1 = (4+3b)/2 10-4 = 3b or b = 2 Answer: a = 2 and b = 2 |
