Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to find the midpoint of a segment is
[tex]M=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex] and we have the midpoint and we also have a coordinate of (5, 4). Let's let x₁ = 5 and y₁ = 4. Filling in what we have:
[tex](2,1)=(\frac{5+x_1}{2},\frac{4+y_2}{2})[/tex] and we'll deal with the x terms first. The x coordinate of the midpoint is 2, so:
[tex]2=\frac{5+x_2}{2}[/tex] and multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the denominator to get:
4 = 5 + x₂ so
x₂ = -1. Going on to the y coordinate. The y coordinate of the midpoint is 1, so:
[tex]1=\frac{4+y_2}{2}[/tex] and again multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the denominator to get:
2 = 4 + y₂ so
y₂ = -2
The coordinates of T are (-1, -2)
