Question 948196: The line segment joining A(1,3) and B(-2,-1) is extended through each end by a distance equal to its original length. find the coordinates of the new endpoints Answer by josgarithmetic(39616) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You can do this graphically if you are allowed or if permitted. The slope from A to B is . Plot A(1,3) and B(-2,-1) on a cartesian coordinate system. Use the slope to mark and identify the point to the right of point A; use the slope to mark and identify the point to the left of point B. Now, read those points. They should be (4,7) and (-5,-5).
