Question

In J, K is the midpoint. The coordinates of ) are (2, 2), and the coordinates of Kare (10, 11). What are the coordinates of L?

Answer 1

Answer:

L(18, 20)

Step-by-step explanation:

In JL, K is the midpoint. The coordinates of J are (2, 2), and the

coordinates of K are (10, 11). What are the coordinates of L?

Solution:

If O(x, y) is the midpoint between two points A($x_1,y_1$) and B($x_2,y_2$). The equation to determine the location of O is given by:

$x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} \\\\y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}$

Since JL is a line segment and K is the midpoint. Given the location of J as (2, 2) and K as (10, 11). Let ($x_2,y_2$) be the coordinate of L. Therefore:

$10=\frac{2+x_2}{2} \\\\20=2+x_2\\\\x_2=18$

$11=\frac{2+y_2}{2} \\\\22=2+y_2\\\\y_2=20$

Therefore L = (18, 20)
