Find the coordinates of P' if P and P' are symmetric with respect to point M.

1. P(-7, 4), M(0, 0)
2. P(5, 4), M(-3, 2)
3. P(-5, 5), M(10, 12)

Please show us your work, including exactly where you are stuck - so that we know where to begin to help you.

Hint:

What is teh definition of symmetry of a point w.r.t. another point?

What is meant by the two points "being symmetric to" the third point?

When you reply, please include a clear listing of your work and reasoning so far. Thank you! :D
