Question

M(5,7) is the midpoint of RS the coordinates of S are (6,9) what are the coordinates of R

Answer 1

(4, 5)

Explanation:

Using the midpoint formula and equating x to 5 and y to 7, that is the coordinates of the midpoint M

let the coordinates of R be (x, y), then

0.5(x + 6) = 5 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

x + 6 = 10 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x = 4

Similarly

0.5(y + 9) = 7 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

y + 9 = 14 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

y = 5

Thus coordinates of R = (4, 5 )

Answer 2

(4,5) i believe
