Point A is located at (-1, -5). The midpoint of the line segment AB is point C(2, 3). What are the coordinates of point B? Question 3 options: (11, 5) (5, 11) (6, 4)
Added by Christopher R.
Step 1
We know that point C is the midpoint of line segment AB. Therefore, we can use the midpoint formula to find the coordinates of point B. Midpoint formula: ( (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2 ) Using point A (-1, -5) and point C (2, 3): x2 = 2*2 - (-1) = 5 y2 = 2*3 - Show more…
