The midpoint, M , of segment AB has coordinates (2,−1) . If endpoint A of the segment has coordinates (−3,5) , what are the coordinates of endpoint B ?

The coordinates of endpoint B are?

Answer :

msm555

the coordinates of endpoint B are (7,7)

Answer:

Solution given:

M(x,y)=(2,-1)

A[tex](x_{1},y_{1})=(-3,5)[/tex]

Let

B[tex](x_{2},y_{2})=(a,b)[/tex]

now

by using mid point formula

x=[tex]\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}[/tex]

$ubstituting value

2*2=-3+a

a=4+3

a=7

again

y=[tex]\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}[/tex]

$ubstituting value

-1*2=5-b

b=5+2

b=7

the coordinates of endpoint B are (7,7)
