Question

please help. The midpoint of Uv is (5-11). The coordinates of one endpoint are U(3, 5). Find the coordinates of endpoint V.

Answer 1

The midpoint coordinates are the averages of the x- and y-coordinates of the endpoints.

So, solve these two equations to get the missing endpoint:

(x+3)/2 = 5
(y+5)/2 = -11

Answer 2

How do i solve them?

Answer 3

@directrix

Answer 4

(x+3)/2 = 5 --> multiply both sides of the equation by 2

(x + 3) = 10 --> solve for x

On this one, follow the same procedure:

(y+5)/2 = -11

y = ?
