Question

Locus of the mid-points of the intercepts between the coordinate axes by the lines passing through a fixed point (a,0)

Open in App
Solution

Let the equation of line in intercept form be xl+ym=1
and be (h,k) be the mid point of the intercepts.
Therefore, (h,k)=(l2,m2)
given line passes through (a,0)
Therefore, al=1h=a2
locus of midpoint is x=a2.
