Answer:
U(2, 5 )
Explanation:
Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is
[
(x₁ + x₂ ) ,
(y₁ + y₂ ) ]
let U = (x, y)
Use the midpoint formula and equate to the coordinates of M , that is
x =
(x + 17) = 9.5 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
x + 17 = 19 ( subtract 17 from both sides )
x = 2
y =
(y - 11 ) = - 3 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
y - 11 = - 6 ( add 11 to both sides )
y = 5
Thus coordinates of U = (2, 5 )
