Question 697381: the midpoint of "AB" is M. If the coordinates of A are (2,-6) and the coordinates of M are (5,-1) what are the coordinates of B? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are looking for B( x,y ) which is
an endpoint.
The x-coordinate of the mid-point is
defined as:
(1)
The y-coordinate of the mid-point is
defined as:
(2)
