To find the location of point B, we can use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula states that the coordinates of the midpoint between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be found by taking the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates.
In this case, point A is located at (5, 8) and the midpoint M is located at (0, 2).
To find the x-coordinate of point B, we can use the midpoint formula:
x-coordinate of B = (x-coordinate of A + x-coordinate of M) / 2
= (5 + 0) / 2
= 5 / 2
= 2.5
To find the y-coordinate of point B, we can use the midpoint formula:
y-coordinate of B = (y-coordinate of A + y-coordinate of M) / 2
= (8 + 2) / 2
= 10 / 2
= 5
Thus, the location of B is 2.5, 5
