A line intersects the y-axis and x-axis at the points P and Q respectively. If (2, -5) is the mid-point of PQ, then the coordinates of P and Q are respectively:
(0, 10) and (-4, 0)
(0, -5) and (2, 0)
(0, 4) and (-10, 0)
(0, -10) and (4, 0)

Answer
Let P(0, a) be the point on y-axis and Q(b, 0) be the point on x-axis.
Given, (2, -5) is the mid-point of PQ.

By mid-point formula,
(x, y) =
Substituting values we get :
P(0, -10) and Q(4, 0)
Hence, Option 4 is the correct option.
