Question

If (3,5) is the midpoint of the line segment ST and the coordinates of S are (2,7), find the coordinates of T.

Answer 1

If (3,5) is the midpoint of the line segment ST and the coordinates of S are (2,7), find the coordinates of T.

Lets Find Coordinates x.

• x = 2/2 = 3
• x = 2 x 3 = 6
• x = 6 - 2
• x = 4

Lets Find Coordinates t and y

• y = 7/2 = 5
• y = 7 = 10
• y = 3
• t = (x,y)
• t = 4,3

so the answer is 4,3

Answer 2

(4, 3)

Explanation:

Finding the x-coordinate :

⇒ x + 2 / 2 = 3

⇒ x + 2 = 6

⇒ x = 4

============================================================

Finding the y-coordinate :

⇒ y + 7 / 2 = 5

⇒ y + 7 = 10

⇒ y = 3

===========================================================

Coordinates of T :

⇒ (x, y)

⇒ (4, 3)
