T(8,15) is the midpoint of CD. The coordinates of D are (8,20). What are the coordinates of C?

The mid point is 5 away from d so it should be five away from c. 8,5

The coordinates of C must be (8,10).

If you plug in the values given in the midpoint formula

8= (8+(8))/(2)
and
15= (20+(10))/(2)

it matches perfectly with the provided midpoint
