Philoid · Accepted Answer

The co-ordinates of mid-point of the line segment joining the points P (0, – 4) and B (8, 0) are

The slope (m) of the line non-vertical line passing through the point (x₁, y₁) and

(x₂, y₂) is given by

The slope of the line is passing through (0,0) and (4,-2) is

The required slope is
