M is the midpoint if AB . If coordinates of A are (-1,5) and the coordinates of M are (3,3) , what are the coordinates of B?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The co-ordinates of B are ( 7,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that 'M' is the midpoint of AB

Given co-ordinate points are A(-1,5) and midpoint M(3,3)

we know that the midpoint formula

[tex]midpoint = (\frac{x_{1} +x_{2} }{2} ,\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2} )[/tex]

[tex](3,3) = (\frac{-1+x_{2} }{2} ,\frac{5+y_{2} }{2} )[/tex]

Step(ii):-

Equating

        [tex]3 = \frac{-1+x_{2} }{2}[/tex]      and   [tex]\frac{5+y_{2} }{2} = 3[/tex]

cross multiplication, we get

     6 = -1 + x₂    and  6 = 5 +y₂

     x₂ = 6+1        and y₂ = 6-5

    x₂  = 7         and    y₂ = 1

Final answer:-

The co-ordinates of B are ( 7,1)
