Algebra.Com's Answer #115200 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! M is the midpoint of QR. Q has coodinates (-3,5) and M has coordinates (7,-9) find the coordinates of R. \n" ); document.write( "--------------------- \n" ); document.write( "The simplest was to do this is to find the differences in X and Y separately, and add them to the midpoint. \n" ); document.write( "x2-x1 = 7 - (-3) = 10 \n" ); document.write( "y2-y1 = -9 - 5 = -14 \n" ); document.write( "Then add to point M \n" ); document.write( "7+10 = 17 \n" ); document.write( "-9-14 = -23 \n" ); document.write( "The point R is (17,-23) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
