Question

Suppose PQ has one endpoint at

P(0, 0). If (2,5) is the midpoint of PQ, what are the
coordinates of point Q?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The midpoint can be found with the formula.

midpoint = (x1+x2) /2 , (y1 + y2 )/2

( x1 , y1), and (x2 , y2 ) are the coordinates of two points, and the midpoint is a point lying equidistant and between these two points.

P = (0,0)

midpoint = (2,5)

x midpoint = 2 = (0+ x2)/2

×2 = 4

y midpoint = 5 = (y2+0 )/2

10 = y2

so the point Q is (4 , 10)
