Question

Suppose point j is the midpoint of segment lm where j(5, -1) and m(0, 6). what are the coordinates of end point l?

Answer 1

If the midpoint of segment lm where j(5, -1) and m(0, 6), then the coordinates of end point l is (10,-8)..

Midpoint:

Midpoint of a line segment is the point that is halfway between the endpoints of the line segment.

The formula for the midpoint is,

$(x_m,y_m)=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

where,

$(x_m,y_m)$ = coordinates of the midpoint

(x₁, y₁)   = coordinates of the first point

(x₂, y₂) = coordinates of the second point

Given,

Midpoint = j = (5,-1)

Second point =  m = (0,6)

Now, we have to find the first midpoint l.

Let (x,y) be the coordinates of l.

Then apply the values on the formula,

Then we get,

$(5,-1)=(\frac{x+0}{2},\frac{y+6}{2})$

Compare the values in order to find the coordinates,

=> 5 = (x + 0) / 2

=> 5 x 2 = x + 0

=> 10 = x

Similarly,

=> -1 = (y + 6) / 2

=> -1 x 2 = y + 6

=> -2 = y + 6

=> -2 - 6 = y

=> y = -8

Therefore, the coordinates of l is (10,-8).
