Point P(-2, 5) is the midpoint of segment AB. Co-ordinates of A are (-5, y) and B are (x, 3). What is the value of x?
A. 1
B. -1
C. 2
D. -2
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
$$\eqalign{ & \Rightarrow {\text{mid point co - ordinate}}\left( {\frac{{ - 5 + x}}{2},\,\frac{{y + 3}}{2}} \right) \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{ - 5 + x}}{2} = - 2 \cr & \Rightarrow - 5 + x = - 4 \cr & \Rightarrow x = 1 \cr} $$
