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:

(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)
