Question

i really hate geometry. it does not make as much sense to me as algebra did. please help.
the midpoint of lineUV is (5,-11) The cordinates of one endpoint are u(3,5), find the cordinates of V?

Answer 1

There are lots of ways to think about this. you can use the midpoint formula.
\[(x,y)=\left( \frac{ x_1+x_2 }{ 2 },\frac{ y_1+y_2 }{ 2 } \right)\]

Or you could think of it as 5 is halfway between 3 and what other number?
-11 is halfway between 5 and what other number?

Answer 2

i think personally formulas are my strong point., i think i just did not know what the formula was, thanks for reminding me

Answer 3

you're welcome. You know how to set it up?

Answer 4

yes once i see a formula and the numbers provided in the question it's easier for me to work it out.

Answer 5

cool

Answer 6

thanks
