Question

The point (-3,-1) is the midpoint of (x,y) and (5,4). Find the point (x,y).

Answer 1

(-11, -6)

Explanation:

Find the distance between the midpoint, (-3, -1) and (5, 4). This can be calculated by finding the difference between the x coordinates and y coordinates.

-3 - 5 = -8 (distance between x coordinates)

-1 - 4 = -5 (distance between y coordinates)

Find the point (x, y) by subtracting 8 from the midpoint's x value, and then subtracting 5 from the midpoint's y value.

-3 - 8 = -11

-1 - 5 = -6

So, the point (x, y) is (-11, -6)
