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

The coordinates of point B are (4,1)

Explanation:

The easiest way of solving and explaining this question would to go by steps from each point. From point A to the midpoint, we go 1 left on the x axis from 6->5 and 3 up on the y axis from -5->-2. You then repeat these steps again to go from the midpoint to B. (5-1,-2+3) = (4,1)
