HELP
M is the midpoint of JK . The coordinates of J are (6, 3) and the coordinates of M are (-3, 4), find the coordinates of K.
Use the mid point formula :) \[\huge~\rm~\frac{ x_2+x_1 }{ 2},\frac{ y_2+y_1 }{ 2 } \]
substitute your values and solve
i gave you midpoint formula in previous question
i don't get how to go backwards though
By law of openstudy, article Code of Coduct, paragraph 2 , i have a right to help the user even if someone is already helping him @TheSmartOne
I understand who to find the midpoint but not find a point from the midpoint and end point
\[\bf\Large \frac{x-6}{2} = -3\]
Would i use the distance formula then multiply the answer by 2? @AlexandervonHumboldt2
the distance formula is not necessary :) see the equation that pooja has given you? she has even plugged in (x1, y1) = (6, 3) and resulting (x , y) = (-3, 4) so we are trying to find the (x2, y2) can you take a look at the equation pooja just gave ans see if you can solve for x? :)
Here it is again \[\bf\Large \frac{x-6}{2} = -3\]
That really doesn't help @sleepyhead314
what part are you still confused on then? :)
Here see if thinking about it like this helps. \[\huge~\rm~\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+\frac{ -6 }{ 2}=-3\]
What is -6/2?
