Point M is the midpoint of AB. The coordinates of point A are (-8, 3) and the coordinates of M are (-2, 1). What are the coordinates of point B?
Added by Donna B.
Step 1
The coordinates of the midpoint are the average of the coordinates of the two endpoints. The formula to find the coordinates of the midpoint M(x, y) is: M = [(x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2] We know the coordinates of point A (x1, y1) are (-8, 3) and the coordinates Show more…
