Its too long to write here, so I will just state what I did.
I let P=(2ap,ap^2) and Q=(2aq,aq^2)
But x-coordinates of P and Q differ by (2a)
So P=(2ap,ap^2) BUT Q=(2ap - 2a, aq^2)
So Q=(2a(p-1), aq^2)
which means, 2aq = 2a(p-1)
therefore, q=p-1
then I subbed that value of q in aq^2
so Q=(2a(p-1), a(p-1)^2)
and P=(2ap,ap^2)
Using these two values, I found the midpoint which was:
M=( a(2p-1), [a(2p^2 - 2p + 1)]/2 )
then x = a(2p-1)
rearranging to make p the subject
p= (x+a)/2a</span>
To estimate, you should round some of the numbers to the closest number (rounding up or down). It will be more accurate the less you round. In this problem, we should round -5 1/4 to -5 since it is the closest. -5*-3/2 = 7.7. You will end up with -3/2x (-5 1/4) ≈ 7.5x
≈ means approximately equal.

A segment bisector is a segment, ray, line, or plane that intersects a given segment at its midpoint.
For example, in the diagram shown, line SQ bisects segment PR because line SQ intersects segment PR at its midpoint which is Q.
