The midpoint of a line segment is found by :
xm = (x1 + x2)/2 ym = (y1 + y2)/2
With xm = 3, ym = 5, x1 = xs = 2, y1 = ys = 7, x2 = xt and y2 = yt we get:
3 = (2 + xt)/2 5 = (7 + yt)/2
6 = 2 + xt 10 = 7 + yt
6 - 2 = xt 10 - 7 = yt
4 = xt 3 = yt
Therefore, the coordinates for point T, (xt,yt), are (4,3).
Hope this helps!
