Answer
P(-13, -3)
Step-by-step solution
3 stepsSubstitute the given values into the midpoint formula.
We are given and . Let .
For the x-coordinate:For the y-coordinate:
Solve for .
Multiply both sides by 2:
Subtract 7 from both sides:
Solve for .
Multiply both sides by 2:
Subtract 5 from both sides:
The coordinates of P are .
