Q1 of 39 Page 1

Find the coordinates of a point A, where AB is a diameter of a circle whose centre is (2, -3) and B is the point (1, 4).


We know that centre is the midpoint of diameter of circle.


By section formula which states that if a point P(x,y) divides the line with end points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2) in the ratio m:n, the coordinates of x and y are:



As midpoint divides the line in the ratio 1:1,


Then, the coordinates of A(x, y) can be calculated as:



⇒ 4 = x + 1

⇒x=3

and



⇒ - 6 = y + 4


⇒y= -10


So, coordinates of A is (3, -10).
