Q: Let the point R (1, 5, 7) be the mid point between point P ( x, y, z ) and Q( 3, 3, 3) .

Find the point P ( x, y, z ) .

Since R is a mid point, so its coordinates will be on the left side of the Mid point formula:

x+3 y +3 z +3
1= , 5= , 7=
2 2 2
2 �1 = x + 3, 5 �2 = y + 3, 7 �2 = z + 3
2 = x + 3, 10 = y + 3, 14 = z + 3
2-3 = x, 10 - 3 = y , 14 - 3 = z
-1 = x , 7 = y, 11 = z
x = - 1, y = 7, z = 11
