A curve has equation y = 2xy + 5 and a line has equation 2x + 5y = 1.
The curve and the line intersect at the points A and B. Find the coordinates of the midpoint
of the line AB

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y = 1     ⇒    2x = 1 - 5y

y = 2xy + 5

y = (1 - 5y)y + 5

y = y - 5y² + 5

5y² = 5

y² = 1

 y₁ = 1               ∨           y₂ = -1

2x₁ = 1 -5(1)                   2x₂ = 1 - 5(-1)

2x₁ = 1 - 5                      2x₂ = 1 + 5

2x₁ = -4                         2x₂ = 6

 x₁ = -2                           x₂ = 3
