Question

How do you solve this I'm confused?

Answer 1

The midpoint of the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$


so if m is the midpoint and m is (-3,-1) and one point is (-8,6) and we call point X (x,y) then

$(\frac{x-8}{2},\frac{y+6}{2})=(-3,-1)$
therefor
$\frac{x-8}{2}=-3$ and $\frac{y+6}{2}=-1$
multiply everybody by 2
x-8=-6 and y+6=-2
add 8 to both sides or minus 6, dependin which equation
x=2 and y=-8


the coordinate of x is (2,-8)
