Question

What is the coordinate of point C, which is the other endpoint of the line segment CO, if P is the midpoint of CO, and P is located at (7, 15), and O is located at (3, 10)?

A) (1, 5)
B) (11, 20)
C) (5, 12.5)
D) (10, 3)

Answer 1

The coordinate of point C, the other endpoint of line segment CO, is (5, 12.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinate of point C, we can use the midpoint formula. The formula is:

(x-coordinate of P + x-coordinate of O) / 2, (y-coordinate of P + y-coordinate of O) / 2

Plugging in the values, we get:

(7 + 3) / 2, (15 + 10) / 2 = (10 / 2, 25 / 2) = (5, 12.5)

Therefore, the coordinate of point C is (5, 12.5), so the answer is C) (5, 12.5).
