Question

M is the midpoint of segment NP. M is located at (2,-2) and N is located at (-3,-6) what are the coordinates of p

Answer 1

P is (7, 2)

Explanation:

Let (x, y) be the coordinates of P

The x coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x coordinates of the end points

The y coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the y coordinates of the end points

So, 2 = (x + (-3))/2 and -2 = (y + (-6))/2

4 = x - 3 -4 = y - 6

x = 7 y = 2

P is (7, 2)
