Question

The coordinates of point T are (0,3). The midpoint of ST is (1, -5). Find the coordinates of point S.

Answer 1

M(3/2,−9/2)

explaination:

the midpoint of a segment is the average values of the endpoint coordinates ie midpoint of ( x 1 , y 1 ) , ( x 2 , y 2 ) M ( x 1 + x 2 2 , y 1 + y 2 2 ) we ahve ( 3 , − 6 ) , ( 0 , − 3 ) ∴ M ( 3 + 0 2 , − 6 + − 3 2 ) M ( 3 2 , − 9 2 )
