Question

Find the coordinate of the missing enpoint if B is the midpoint of AC. A(-4,2), B(6,-1) C

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!!

Here,

B(6,-1) is a midpoint of two end points AC.

A(-4,2) is a one end point.

Let another point be B(x,y).

Now, Using midpoint forumula.

$(x,y) = (\frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

Put all values.

$(6, - 1) = ( \frac{ - 4 + x}{2} ,\frac{2 + y}{2} )$

As they are equal, equating with their corresponding elements we get,

$6 = \frac{ - 4 + x}{2}$

12 = -4 + x

x = 16.

Again,

$- 1 = \frac{2 + y}{2}$

-2 = 2+ y

y = -4

Therefore, the coordinates were B(16,-4).

Hope it helps...
