1. Problem Description

Point M is the midpoint of the line segment AB. The coordinates of point A are (5, 3), and the coordinates of point M are (11, 7). We need to find the coordinates of point B.

2. Solution Steps

Let the coordinates of point A be (xA,yA)(x_A, y_A) and the coordinates of point B be (xB,yB)(x_B, y_B). The coordinates of the midpoint M of the line segment AB are given by (xM,yM)(x_M, y_M), where
xM=xA+xB2x_M = \frac{x_A + x_B}{2}
yM=yA+yB2y_M = \frac{y_A + y_B}{2}
We are given that xA=5x_A = 5, yA=3y_A = 3, xM=11x_M = 11, and yM=7y_M = 7. We need to find xBx_B and yBy_B.
Substituting the given values into the midpoint formulas, we get:
11=5+xB211 = \frac{5 + x_B}{2}
7=3+yB27 = \frac{3 + y_B}{2}
Now, we can solve for xBx_B and yBy_B:
22=5+xB22 = 5 + x_B
xB=225=17x_B = 22 - 5 = 17
14=3+yB14 = 3 + y_B
yB=143=11y_B = 14 - 3 = 11
Therefore, the coordinates of point B are (17, 11).

3. Final Answer

The coordinates of point B are (17, 11).
