Question

The midpoint of segment AB is (-2,5). The coordinates of point A are (-7,3). Find the coordinates of point B.

A)
(3,7)
B)
(3, 1)
09
(7,3)
D)
(-13, 1)

Answer 1

A) (3,7)

Explanation:

If the value of x goes from -7 to -2, that means to get the coordinate b you have to add 5 again, so the x value of coordinate B is 3. Then, if the value of y goes from 3 to 5 you have to add 2 to the y-value again to get 7. So the y value is 7. Meaning the final answer is (3,7)

Answer 2

A) (3,7)

Explanation:

if you graph the given points you see that point A from the mid point is 2 rise and 5 run. Count that same rise over run to find B. Look at graph for help.
