Question

ST lie on the coordinate plane with S located at (3,2). the midpoint of ST is Z(3,5). Can the location of T be determined

Answer 1

T(3, 8)

Explanation:

Yes, it can.

Use the midpoint formula with points S and Z, and solve for point T.

M( (x_1 + x_2)/2 , (y_1 + y_2)/2 )

Z(3, 5) = ( (3 + x)/2 , (2 + y)/2 )

(3 + x)/2 = 3

3 + x = 6

x = 3

(2 + y)/2 = 5

2 + y = 10

y = 8

T(3, 8)
