The midpoint of segment AB is M(−2,2). If A is located at (−5,7) find the coordinates of the endpoint B.

Solution
Since we do not know the coordinates of point B we will use (x2,y2) as our coordinate. We will use our given point A and B and substitute into the midpoint formula. We would start with

M=(x1+x22,y1+y22)

Now let’s substitute in our given values.

( , 2)=((−5+x2)2,(7+y2)2)

Find x2 and y2
We will now set up two equations to solve for our two unknowns of x2 and y2.

( +x2)/2=

We will first want to multiply by 2 on both sides and will get

−5+x2=−4

Adding 5 to both sides we get

x2=

This is the x coordinate of point B. Now we will set up the equation to solve for y2

( +y2)/2=

We will first want to multiply by 2 on both sides and will get

+y2=

y2=

This is the y-coordinate of point B. The coordinates of point B are

gdp is the best phrase!

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
