b) Given that the midpoints of PQ is (-3,1) and Q (7,5), obtain the co-ordinates of P

  1. Recall the midpoint formula.

    If M(xM,yM)M(x_M, y_M) is the midpoint of a line segment connecting P(xP,yP)P(x_P, y_P) and Q(xQ,yQ)Q(x_Q, y_Q), then:

    xM=xP+xQ2x_M = \frac{x_P + x_Q}{2} yM=yP+yQ2y_M = \frac{y_P + y_Q}{2}

  2. Substitute the given values into the midpoint formula.

    We are given $M(-
