Find the endpoint if A (5,-2) and the midpoint is B (3,6), what is C
1 answer:
Answer:
C = (1, 14 )
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates of the midpoint are the average of the x and y coordinates of the endpoints.
Find the average of endpoints and equate to coordinates of midpoint
A (5, - 2 ) , let C = (x, y ) , then
= 3 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
x + 5 = 6 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
x = 1
and
= 6 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
y - 2 = 12 ( add 2 to both sides )
y = 14
Coordinates of C = (1, 14 )

a. What is the actual distance between Saugerties and
Kingston? ___________________________
b. Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties. What would the
distance on the map be? ___________________________

Kingston is 2 inches. What would the distance from Saugerties to
Catskill be on this map? __________________
Since you have asked the answer for part (c) only, here is the answer:
Answer:
<u>The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be </u><u>3 inches</u><u> on this map.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
On the given map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 4 inches and the scale is <u>1 inch = 2.5 miles.</u>
To calculate the actual distance in miles between Saugerties and Kingston, consider the given scale:
1 inch ---------- 2.5 miles
4 inches ------ x miles
Cross multiplying:
1x = 2.5 x 4
x = 10 miles
The actual distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 10 miles.
On another map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 2 inches. Which means the scale is 2 inches = 10 miles. So 1 inch = 10/2 = 5 miles
The scale on the other map is 1 inch = 5 miles.
Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties (given in the previous part). So on the map:
1 inch -------- 5 miles
y inch ------- 15 miles
Cross multiplying:
15 = 5y
y = 15/5
<u>y = 3 inches.</u>
The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be 3 inches on this map.
