To graph: The line segment AB where coordinates of the point A are
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
AB is a line point and M is mid-point of the line segment.
Graph:
Plot the points
Let the coordinates of the point B be
Recall that the midpoint of the segment that joins two points
Now,
Therefore,
Equate the x -coordinate of each bracket,
Equate the y -coordinate of each bracket,
Therefore, coordinates of the point B are
Now, plot the points
Interpretation:
As the point
