Answer:
Coordinate or r = (7,9).
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include the following:
Mid point = (8,7)
Coordinate of S = (9,5)
Coordinate of r =...?
We shall determine the coordinate of r as follow:
Let the coordinate of r be (x2, y2)
Mid point = (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2
Mid point = (8,7)
Coordinate of S = (9,5)
x1 = 9
y1 = 5
x2 =?
y2 =?
The value of x2 can be obtained as follow:
8 = (x1 + x2)/2
8 = (9 + x2)/2
Cross multiply
9 + x2 = 2 × 8
9 + x2 = 16
Collect like terms
x2 = 16 – 9
x2 = 7
The value of y2 can be obtained as follow:
5 = (y1 + y2)/2
7 = (5 + y2)/2
Cross multiply
5 + y2 = 2 × 7
5 + y2 = 14
Collect like terms
y2 = 14 – 5
y2 = 9
Coordinate of r = (x2, y2)
Coordinate or r = (7,9)
