Is this correct?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

My answer: J(6, 3) M(-3, 4) d = √{[(6 - -3)^2] + [(3 - 4)^2]} d = √{[9^2] + [-1^2]} d = √{81 + 1} d = √82 d ≈ 9.06 K(-12, 5)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

I don't understand how you took the distance of of JM to find the coordinate K Granted that JM = MK since M is the midpoint mhmm

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

you are correct, but easier method is to use midpoint \[M = (\frac{x_1 +x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})\]

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Yeah, you could plug in the (x1, y1) values you know and the midpoint values and solve for (x2, y2) so: \(\Large -3 = \frac{6+ x_2}{2}\) and \(\Large 4 = \frac{3 + y_2}{2}\)
