The midpoint of UV is (5,-11) the coordinates of one endpoint are U(3,5). Find the coordinates of endpoint V.
@3mar
Would it be (7,-27)
First off, I love your username, second, the midpoint formula is (x1 + x2)/2 and (y1 + y2)/2 Since you have one point, just work it backwards. x = (x1 + x2)/2 5 = (3 + x)/2 <-- multiply both sides by 2 10 = 3 + x <-- Subtract 3 from both sides x = 7 and now for y, 11 = (5 + y)/ 2 <--- repeat steps, multiply by 2 22 = 5 + y <-- Subtract 5 17 = 7 So the other endpoint is (7, 17)
Your answer, sister, is correct.
(7,-27)
and check this for being sure.
It's a -11 not 11 for the y part of the midpoint
I did this -11 = (5 + y)/ 2 <--- multiply by 2 -22 = 5 + y <-- Subtract 5 -27=y
Okay, forgive me for missing the negative. Yes, you are correct!
Nice point, you are up!
Thanks for catching me @3mar
Thank you guys so much
We are in the same place, brother! Be always at the top!
and thanks for the medal!
