Given :
M(6,5) is the mid-point of the straight line joining A(2 , 3) to the
point B.
To Find :
The coordinates of B.
Solution :
Let, coordinates of point B is ( h , k ) .
It is given that M is the mid - point of the straight line joining points A and B.
Coordinates of M is given by :
[tex]M = (\dfrac{2+h}{2},\dfrac{3+k}{2})\\\\(6,5 ) = (\dfrac{2+h}{2},\dfrac{3+k}{2})\\\\\dfrac{2+h}{2} = 6 \ , \ \dfrac{3+k}{2} = 5\\\\h = 10 \ ,\ k = 7[/tex]
Therefore, coordinates of point B is ( 10 , 7 ).
