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 )
(x, y) = ( ,
)
given the 2 equations
5x - 3y - 10 = 0 → (1)
x + y - 7 = 0 → (2)
rearrange (2) to obtain y in terms of x
y = 7 - x → (3)
Substitute y = 7 - x into (1)
5x - 3(7 - x) - 10 = 0
5x - 21 + 3x - 10 = 0
8x - 31 = 0 ( add 31 to both sides )
8x = 31 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x =
Substitute this value into (3) for y
y = 7 - x = -
