The coordinate of point y are given. the midpoint of XY is (3, -5). Find the coordinates of point x.

Question

1. Y(0,2)
2. Y(-10,5)
3. Y(7,1)
4. please show the work im really confused

Answer 1

(3,-5) and (0,2) because (3,-5) is a midpoint you find the x - distance 3 to 0 is three units

the y distance -5 to 2 is 7 units

three units higher than 3 is 6 for the x - coordinate

seven units lower than -5 is -12 for the y - coordinate

that isn’t how to get (6,-12)

you fin the distance from each x - coordinate and y - coordinate services if it is increasing or decreasing.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

You want to find the difference between the midpoint and Y. That will be the difference between X and the midpoint.

For example, if the midpoint is (3, -5) and Y is (0,2). To go from Y to the midpoint, you add 3 to x and subtract 7 from y. To find X, you apply the same operation to the midpoint:

X = (3 + 3, -5-7) = (6,-12)

I'm sure you can figure out the rest of the questions based on this. :)
