Answer:

(-3,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say two points are (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the midpoint will be:

((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)

Plugging the point A in, we get: the midpoint, (3,5) as (((9+x2)/2),(2+y2)/2)

We can assign x2 and y2 as variables.

(9+x2)/2=3

9+x2=6

x2= -3

(2+y2)/2=5

2+y2=10

y2=8

therefore we get the point (-3,8)

There are better ways and this is the "formulaic (ig) way" to do this

The midpoint of a line segment means a point which lies in the mid of the given line segment. The coordinate of point B is (-3,8).

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment AB?

The midpoint of a line segment means a point which lies in the mid of the given line segment.

Suppose we've two endpoints of a line segment:

A(p,q), and B(m,n)

Then let the midpoint be M(x,y) on that line segment. Then, its coordinates are:

 x = (p+m)/2

and

y = (q+n)/2

The coordinate of the midpoint (x,y)=(3,5), while the coordinate of A(p,q)=(9,2). Thus, the coordinate of point A are,

x=(p+m)/2

3=(9+m)/2

6=9+m

m = -3

y = (q+n)/2

5 = (2+n)/2

10=2+n

n=8

Hence, the coordinate of point B is (-3,8).
