Question

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

coordinates of B?

Answer 1

(4, 1)

Explanation:

To find the second point, first, we must look at how far apart the midpoint and point A are from each other

As seen in picrel, the midpoint is 3 units up and 1 unit left from point A.

We will repeat these units diagonally to make a linear line to find the next point.

3 units up and 1 unit left from the midpoint is (4, 1) which is point B.

For future problems related to finding the second point with only the midpoint and the first point, refer to step 1.
