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)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the answer is actually (0, -7)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
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?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes f point C is the midpoint of AB , what is the coordinate of point B?
OpenStudy (ghazi):
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 :)
OpenStudy (ghazi):
it is known as mid point formula
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got 7.12
