Question

The coordinates of point T are ​(​0,5​). The midpoint of ST is ​(2​,-2​). Find the coordinates of point S.

Answer 1

(4, -9)

Explanation:

Find the distances between the x and y coordinates of point T and the midpoint:

2 - 0 = 2 (distance of x values)

-2 - 5 = -7 (distance of y values)

Add these two values to the coordinates of the midpoint:

2 + 2 = 4 (x value of point S)

-2 - 7 = -9 (y value of point S)

So, point S is at (4, -9)
