M(5,5) is the midpoint of RS. The coordinates of S are (7,2). What are the coordinates of R
Let (x,y)(x,y)(x,y) be the coordinates of R.
Now, if M(5,5)M(5,5)M(5,5) is the mid point of the line RS. Then it must satisfy the condition.
5=x+725 = \dfrac{x+7}{2}5=2x+7
x=3x= 3x=3
Also,
5=y+225 = \dfrac{y+2}{2}5=2y+2
y=8y=8y=8
Hence, the coordinates of point R are (3,8).(3,8).(3,8).
