The midpoint of overline AB is M(3, 0) If the coordinates of A are (2, 4) what are the coordinates of B?

The Midpoint Of Overline AB Is M3 0 If The Coordinates Of A Are 2 4 What Are The Coordinates Of B class=

Answer :

Answer: B(4,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

M(3,0)     A(2,4)     B(x,y)=?

[tex]\displaystyle\\x_M=\frac{x_A+x_B}{2} \\\\Multiply\ both\ parts\ of\ the\ equation\ by \ 2:\\2x_M=x_A+x_B\\2x_M-x_A=x_A+x_B-x_A\\2x_M-x_A=x_B\\x_M=3\ \ \ \ \ x_A=2\\Hence,\\2*3-2=x_B\\6-2=x_B\\4=x_B\\Similarly:\\2y_M-y_A=y_B\\y_m=0\ \ \ \ \ y_A=4\\Hence,\\2*0-4=y_B\\0-4=y_B\\-4=y_B\\Thus,\ B(4,-4)[/tex]
