Algebra.Com's Answer #33338 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the coordinate of point T are given. the midpoint of ST has coordinate (5,-8). find the coordinates of points S. \n" ); document.write( "You have to know that the coordinates of the midpoint are the average of \n" ); document.write( "the x-values of the end points and the y-values of the end points. \n" ); document.write( "1. T(0,4) \n" ); document.write( "Let S have coordinates (x,y) \n" ); document.write( "Then (x+0)/2 = 5; x=10 \n" ); document.write( "And (y+4)/2 = -8; y=-20 \n" ); document.write( "-----------------\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2. T(10,18) \n" ); document.write( "Let S have coordinates (x,y) \n" ); document.write( "Then (x+10)/2 = 5; x=0 \n" ); document.write( "And (y+18)/2 =-8; y=-34\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
