Answer:
L (1, - 7 )
Step-by-step explanation:
give endpoints (x₁, y₁ ( and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is
( ,
)
here (x₁, y₁ ) = K (9, - 7 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = L (x, y )
use the midpoint formula and equate to corresponding coordinates of M
= 5 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
9 + x = 10 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
x = 1
and
= - 7 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
- 7 + y = - 14 ( add 7 to both sides )
y = - 7
Then L = (1, - 7 )
