f point C is the midpoint of AB , what is the coordinate of point B?
use the midpoint formula \[\frac{ x _{2}+x _{1} }{ 2 }, \frac{ y _{2} +y _{1}}{ 2 }\] and put in the values that you do know to solve for the unknown values
i did that and i got ( 3/2,-1)
the answer is actually (0, -7)
also, you can see that from point a to point c, you down 2 units and 3 units to the right. if you go down 2 units and 3 units to the right from point c, you arrive at (0, -7)
got it?
yes f point C is the midpoint of AB , what is the coordinate of point B?
let's say coordinate of C is (x,y ) then \[-3=\frac{ (x+(-6)) }{ 2 }=\frac{ x-6 }{ 2 } \] similarly \[-5=\frac{ (y-3) }{ 2 }\] solve for x and y :)
it is known as mid point formula
i got 7.12
x=0 and y= -7
@edwardk is it okay?
yeah B is (0, -7)
