Question

9. M (2, 1) is the midpoint of segment AB. If the endpoint A has coordinates (5,6), find
the coordinates of endpoint B.

Answer 1

Answer:

(-1, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing endpoint, we can multiply the midpoint coordinates by 2, so we can get 4 and 2. Then we can subtract the coordinates from the endpoint we have, which is A, to those numbers.

4-5 is -1

2-6 is -4

Put them together and we get (-1, -4) as our endpoint B.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(5+x)/2=2, (6+y)/2=1

for the x value

5+x=4

x=-1

then for the y value

6+y=2

y=-4

then your answer would be (-1,-4)
