Its very simple\

To find the values of x2 and y2 for point G(0,0) when you are given that G is the midpoint of points (x1, y1) and (x3, y3), you can use the midpoint formula:

Midpoint formula:

(x, y) = ((x1 + x3) / 2, (y1 + y3) / 2)

Given:

(x1, y1) = (2, 3)

G(0, 0)

Plug these values into the midpoint formula:

(0, 0) = ((2 + x3) / 2, (3 + y3) / 2)

Now, solve for x3 and y3:

For x3:

0 = (2 + x3) / 2

Multiply both sides by 2 to isolate x3:

0 = 2 + x3

Subtract 2 from both sides to find x3:

x3 = -2

For y3:

0 = (3 + y3) / 2

Multiply both sides by 2 to isolate y3:

0 = 3 + y3

Subtract 3 from both sides to find y3:

y3 = -3

So, the values are:

x3 = -2

y3 = -3

Therefore, the coordinates for point (x2, y2) are:

x2 = 3

y2 = -3
