Given, points A and B are on x-axis and y-axis respectively
Let co-ordinates of A be (x, 0) and of B be (0, y)
And P (2, -3) is the midpoint of AB
So, we have
2 = (x + 0)/2 and -3 = (0 + y)/2
x = 4 and y = -6
(i) Hence, the co-ordinates of A are (4, 0) and of B are (0, -6).
(ii) Slope of AB = y2 – y1/ x2 – x1
= (-6 – 0)/ (0 – 4)
= -6/-4 = 3/2 = m
(iii) Equation of AB will be
y – y1 = m (x – x1)
y – (-3) = 3/2 (x – 2) [As P lies on it]
y + 3 = 3/2 (x – 2)
2y + 6 = 3x – 6
3x – 2y – 12 = 0
