  • desk = (-5,2)
  • box  =  (8, -8)
  • door = (x, y)

formula:

[tex]\sf \bold{(x_m, y_m) = (\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2})}[/tex]

=====================================

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf \dfrac{x+(-5)}{2} ,\dfrac{y+2}{2} = (8, -8)[/tex]

separate taking coefficients:

[tex]\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{x-5}{2} =8, \ \dfrac{y+2}{2} = -8[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow \sf x-5 =16, \ y+2 = -16[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow \sf x =16+5, \ y= -16-2[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow \sf x =21, \ y= -18[/tex]

coordinates of door: (21, -18)

Let that be (x,y)

So

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail (8,-8)=(\dfrac{x-5}{2},\dfrac{y+2}{2})[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \cfrac{x-5}{2}=8\implies x-5=16\implies x=21[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \cfrac{y+2}{2}=-8\implies y+2=-16\implies y=-18[/tex]

  • (x,y)=(21,-18)
