Answer 1

Answer:

B(3, 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

[ $\frac{1}{2}$ (x₁ + x₂ ), $\frac{1}{2}$ (y₁ + y₂ ) ]

let the coordinates of B = (x, y )

Then apply the formula and equate coordinates to midpoint coordinates, that is

x = $\frac{1}{2}$ (x + 1) = 2 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

x + 1 = 4 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

x = 3

-----------

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ (y + 2 ) = 5 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

y + 2 = 10 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

y = 8

----------

Thus B = (3, 8 )
