12. In the standard (x.y) coordinate plane, the point (2,1) is
the midpoint of CD. Point C has coordinates (6,8).
What are the coordinates of point D?

Respuesta :

The coordinates of point  D is (-2,-6)

Given :

the point (2,1) is the midpoint of CD. Point C has coordinates (6,8).

Let coordinates of point D is (x2,y2)

C is (6,8) that is (x1,y1)

Lets apply midpoint formula

[tex](\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )\\[/tex]

Plug in x1  and y1 values inside the formula and make is equal to (2,1)

[tex](\frac{6+x_2}{2},\frac{8+y_2}{2} )=(2,1)\\\\\frac{6+x_2}{2}=2\\6+x_2=4\\x_2=4-6=-2\\x_2=-2\\\\\\\frac{8+y_2}{2} =1\\8+y_2=2\\y_2=2-8\\y_2=-6[/tex]

so coordinates of point D is (-2,-6)
