Question

Point \blue{A}Astart color #6495ed, A, end color #6495ed is at \blue{(-2, -7)}(−2,−7)start color #6495ed, left parenthesis, minus, 2, comma, minus, 7, right parenthesis, end color #6495ed and point \purple{M}Mstart color #9d38bd, M, end color #9d38bd is at \purple{(2.5, -1.5)}(2.5,−1.5)start color #9d38bd, left parenthesis, 2, point, 5, comma, minus, 1, point, 5, right parenthesis, end color #9d38bd.
Point \purple{M}Mstart color #9d38bd, M, end color #9d38bd is the midpoint of point \blue{A}Astart color #6495ed, A, end color #6495ed and point \green{B}Bstart color #28ae7b, B, end color #28ae7b.

What are the coordinates of point \green{B}Bstart color #28ae7b, B, end color #28ae7b?

Answer 1

Answer:

(7,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint formula is expressed as:

M(X, Y) = {(x2+x1)/2, (y2+y1)/2

Given the coordinates of the midpoint

M(2.5, -1.5)

Endpoint A(-2, -7)

Required

Endpoint B

From the formula;

X = x2+x1/2

Given

X = 2.5, x1 = -2

Get x2

2.5 = -2+x2/2

5 = -2+x2

x2 = 5+2

x2 = 7

Also

Y = y2+y1/2

-1.5 = -7+y2/2

-3 =-7+y2

y2 = -3+7

y2 = 4

Hence the coordinate of the endpoint B (x2,y2) is (7,4)
