The midpoint of AB is (-1, 5) and the coordinates of point A are (-3, 2) what are the coordinates of point B? ​

Sagot :

Answer:

B (1, 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

( [tex]\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2}[/tex] )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A (- 3, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (x, y )

Calculate the midpoint values and equate to the corresponding coordinates of the given midpoint (- 1, 5 ) , that is

[tex]\frac{-3+x}{2}[/tex] = - 1 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

- 3 + x = - 2 ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 1

[tex]\frac{2+y}{2}[/tex] = 5 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

2 + y = 10 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

y = 8

Then point B = (1, 8 )
