How do I find the missing coordinates with a mid-point and one set of coordinates?
Eg: AB(0,5)
A (-5,2)
What is B?
------
That is confusing.
---
I'll assume that A is an end point with coordinates (-5,2)
I guess (0,5) is the midpoint and you want the coordinates of "B".
---------
Let the coordinates of B be (x,y).
-------
Equations:
(x+-5)/2 = 0
x = 5
-----
(y+2)/2 = 5
y = 8
-----
B: (5,8)
