OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Use the midpoint formula.\[\large \left( \frac{ x_1 +x_2 }{ 2 }, \frac{ y_1+y_2 }{ 2 } \right)\]and you have one point, so make (5, 2) your (x1, y1).

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

You have to find (x2, y2) that gives a midpoint of (-1, 0)...\[\large \left( \frac{ 5 +x_2 }{ 2 }, \frac{ 2+y_2 }{ 2 } \right) = (-1, 0)\]which means: \(\Large \frac{ 5+x_2 }{2 }=-1\) and \(\Large \frac{ 2+y_2 }{ 2}=0\) so solve for x2 and y2.

OpenStudy (kevin):

Just follow what Agen0Smith told for (5+x2)/2=−1 --> multiply both side with 2 for (2+y2)/2=0 ->multiply both side with 2

i still dont understand how to do this

Go back to the start. Are you familiar with the midpoint formula?
