  • A(3,1), (βˆ’5,0)
  • B(1,3), (βˆ’1,2)
  • C(7,βˆ’3), (7,2)
  • D(2,βˆ’4), (0,βˆ’5)

Q5:

The origin is the midpoint of the straight segment 𝐴𝐡. Find the coordinates of point 𝐡 if the coordinates of point 𝐴 are (βˆ’6,4).

  • A(βˆ’4,6)
  • B(6,βˆ’4)
  • C(βˆ’3,2)
  • D(βˆ’6,4)

Q6:

Given 𝐴(βˆ’8,βˆ’3) and 𝐢(4,1), what are the coordinates of 𝐡 if 𝐢 is the midpoint of 𝐴𝐡?

  • A(βˆ’12,βˆ’5)
  • B(βˆ’2,βˆ’1)
  • C(16,5)
  • D(βˆ’12,βˆ’4)

Q7:

𝐴, 𝐡, 𝐢, and 𝐷 are collinear points. Suppose that the coordinates of points 𝐴 and 𝐢 are (2,4) and (βˆ’8,βˆ’8), respectively, and that 𝐴𝐡=𝐡𝐢=𝐢𝐷. What are the coordinates of 𝐡 and 𝐷?

  • A(5,6), (βˆ’21,βˆ’22)
  • B(βˆ’3,βˆ’2), (βˆ’13,βˆ’14)
  • C(3,βˆ’8), (βˆ’13,βˆ’24)
  • D(βˆ’1,0), (βˆ’7,βˆ’8)

Q8:

Consider the points 𝐴(π‘₯,7),𝐡(βˆ’4,𝑦), and 𝐢(2,5). Given that 𝐢 is the midpoint of 𝐴𝐡, find the values of π‘₯ and 𝑦.

  • Aπ‘₯=8, 𝑦=3
  • Bπ‘₯=0, 𝑦=17
  • Cπ‘₯=βˆ’1, 𝑦=6
  • Dπ‘₯=6, 𝑦=βˆ’2

Q9:

Liam plotted the locations of several places in his town in this coordinate plane.

Liam’s house lies halfway between the museum and the movie theater. Find the coordinates at which Liam should graph a point representing his house.

  • A(5,βˆ’3)
  • B(6,5)
  • C(βˆ’2,5)
  • D(5,βˆ’2)
  • E(5,6)

Q10:

A rectangular garden is next to a house along a road. In the garden is an orange tree 7 m from the house and 3 m from the road. There is also an apple tree, 5 m from the house and 9 m from the road. A fountain is placed halfway between the trees. How far is the fountain from the house and the road?

  • A6 m, 6 m
  • B6 m, 3.5 m
  • C3.5 m, 4.5 m
  • D1 m, 3 m
  • E4 m, 8 m
