Let the co-ordinates of the image of the point P(5,-3) be
P1(x, y) in the point (-1, 3) then the point (-1, 3) will be the midpoint of PP1.
By midpoint formula, x = (x1+x2)/2
-1 = (5+x2)/2 [x = -1, x1 = 5]
-2 = 5+x2
x2 = -2-5 = -7
By midpoint formula, y = (y1+y2)/2
3 = (-3+y2)/2 [y = 3, y1 = -3]
6 = -3+y2
y2 = 6+3 = 9
Hence the co-ordinates of the image of P is (-7,9).
