Question

If the midpoint of point P (-2, -3) and point Q is point R (-5, 10), what are the coordinates of point Q?
(-8, 23)
(8, -23)
(-8, -23)
(8, 23)

Answer 1

This is how it is worded

Answer 2

from -2 to -5 is left 3 units
go another 3 to the left and you end up at -8

Answer 3

so where is the 23 going?

Answer 4

@satellite73

Answer 5

would the 23 be -23?

Answer 6

Im just gonig to guest C cause you left me guessing @satellite73

Answer 7

Do a similar thing with the y-coordinate what satellite did with the x-coordinate. Except instead of left and right it will be up and down with the y-coordinate.

Answer 8

I think the 23 would be negative on the y axis

Answer 9

@aum

Answer 10

R is the midpoint of PQ.
The y-coordinate of P is: -3.
The y-coordinate of R is: 10
So from P we have to go 13 units UP to get to R. { 10 - (-3) = 13 units }.
So to get to point Q, we need to go 13 units further UP from R: 10 + 13 = 23.
So the y-coordinate of R is 23.
