Question

the coordinates of point t are (0, 6) the midpoint of line st is (2, 5) what are the coordinates of point s

Answer 1

The coordinates of S would be (4, 4)

In order to find this, we need to know that the value of midpoint (M) points will always be the average of S and T's points. This is because it is the midpoint. Therefore we can use the following formula.

Value of x

(S + T)/2 = M

(S + 0)/2 = 2

S + 0 = 4

S = 4

Then we can do the same for the y values

Value of y

(S + T)/2 = M

(S + 6)/2 = 5

S + 6 = 10

S = 4
