Q18 of 149 Page 14

The coordinates of the point P are (-3, 2). Find the coordinates of the point Q which lies on the line joining P and origin such that OP = OQ.

Let the coordinates of Point Q are (x, y) and coordinates of origin O are (0, 0)


Since OP = OQ


Points are: P (-3, 2), Q(x, y) and O (0, 0)


Q is the mid point






Therefore coordinates are (3, -2)
