Algebra.Com's Answer #422707 by Jolliano(16) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the coordinates of R be (x1,y1). \n" ); document.write( "Then, ([8 + x1]/2,[2 + y1]) = (3,-3) \n" ); document.write( "Taking it one at a time, \n" ); document.write( "(8 + x1)/2 = 3 \n" ); document.write( "Cross multiplying, \n" ); document.write( "8 + x1= 3 * 2 \n" ); document.write( "x1 = 6 - 8 \n" ); document.write( "x1 = -2. \n" ); document.write( "Also, \n" ); document.write( "(2 + y1)/2 = -3 \n" ); document.write( "2 + y1 = 2 * -3 \n" ); document.write( "y1 = -6 - 2 \n" ); document.write( "y1 = -8. \n" ); document.write( "Coordinates of R are (-2,-8). \n" ); document.write( " |
