Question

The midpoint of \overline{\text{AB}} AB is M(0, -3)M(0,−3). If the coordinates of AA are (2, -5)(2,−5), what are the coordinates of BB?
The formating kinda screwed up

Answer 1

Using the mid-point concept, it is found that the coordinates of B are (-2, -1).

• The mid-point of two points is the mean of the coordinates of each point.

In this problem:

• The points are: A(2, -5) and B(x,y).

• The mid-point is (0, -3).

Applying the concept for both the x and y-coordinates, we have that:

$\frac{x + 2}{2} = 0$

$x + 2 = 0$

$x = -2$

$\frac{-5 + y}{2} = -3$

$-5 + y = -6$

$y = -1$

The coordinates of B are (-2, -1).
