Find the coordinate of point B of segment AB, if A (-3.6), and point C (1.4) is the midpoint of segment AB.
September 9, 2021 | education
| The midpoint of the segment AB on the plane with ends at points A (Xa; Ya) and B (Xb; Yb) has coordinates ((Xa + Xb) / 2; (Ya + Yb) / 2)
Substitute:
The coordinate of the midpoint of the segment X = 1
1 = (Xa + Xb) / 2
2 = -3 + Xb
Xb = 5
The coordinate of the midpoint of the segment Y = 4
4 = (Ya + Yb) / 2
8 = 6 + Yb
Yb = 2
Answer: Coordinates of point B (5; 2)
