PLS HELP WILL GIVE Point A is located at (1, 5), and point M is located at (−1, 6). If point M is the midpoint of segment AB, find the location of point B.

(−3, 7)
(0, 5.5)
(3, 4)
(0, 5)

(-3,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the coordinates of B be (x,y)

M = ( (1+x)/2, (5+y)/2) = (-1,6)

(1+x)/2 = -1              (5+y)/2 = 6

1+x= -2                    5+y = 12

x = -3                       y = 7

(-3,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

since the midpoint is (-1,6),you have to use the formula of the midpoint

y=y1+y2/2 and x=x1+x2/2

in this question x1 is 1 and y1 is 5

X=x1+x2/2

-1=1+x2/2

-2=1+x

-2-1=x

x=-3

y=y1+y2/2

6=5+y2/2

12=5+y

12-5=y

y=7

I hope this helps

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
