Question

UV has a midpoint at M(6, 3). Point U is at (3, 8). Find the coordinates of point V.

Answer 1

V(9, -2)

Explanation:

U (3,8); M(6,3); V(?,?)

To go from point U to point M we went down 8-3=5 units, and to the right from 3 to 6 so 6-3=3 units. Here we got half way of the line UV so continue 5 units down and 3units right to get to V(9, -2)

U (3, 8); M(3+3= 6, 8-5= 3); V(6+3 =9, 3-5= -2)
