Question

The midpoint of AB is M(-6,1). If the coordinates of A are (-7, -3), what are

the coordinates of B?

Answer 1

B = (1, -4)

Explanation:

the midpoint formula is ((x1 + x2) / 2 , ( y1 + y2) / 2)

M = (-6,1) and A = (-7,-3)

if we make A (x1, y1), we can plug in and solve for B (x2, y2)

-7 + x2 = -6

x2 = 1

1 + y2 = -3

y2 = -4

B = (1, -4)
