Question

The midpoint of AB is M(-4,2). If the coordinates of A are (-6,5), what are the

coordinates of B?

Answer 1

(-2,-1)

Explanation:

Midpoints are found when you do ([x(subscript A) + x(subscript B)]/2, [y(subscript A) + y(subscript B)]. Therefore your equation (for x of B) should look like this:

-4 = ([-6+x]/2)

After you solve for x, you should have gotten -2 for x.

Then you do the same for y:

2 = ([5+y]/2)

You should get -1. Your final answer should be (-2, -1)
