The required coordinate of b is given as (6, 7 ).
To find out the coordinate of b if M is the midpoint of AB. A(1, -4) and M(-3 ,0).
The midpoint is that point the line whose length from both the ends of the line is equal.
Here,
We have coordinates of two points i.e. A(1, -4) and M(-3, 0).
Definition of midpoint says,
x = [x₁ + x₂] / 2 ; y = [y₁ + y₂] / 2
x₁ = 2, x = 4 , y₁ = -1, y = 4
now,
4 = [2 + x₂] / 2 ; 4 = [1 + y₂] / 2
x₂ = 8 - 2 ; y₂ = 8 - 1
x₂ = 6 : y₂ = 7
Thus, the coordinate of b is given as (8, 7 ).
