Step 1 :The formula to find the midpoint M of a line segment with end points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) is M\(\left(\frac{{x1+x2}}{2}, \frac{{y1+y2}}{2}\right)\)
Step 2 :Given that M(2, -3) and B(5, 1), we can set up the following equations to solve for the coordinates of A:
Step 3 :\(\frac{{x1+5}}{2} = 2\) and \(\frac{{y1+1}}{2} = -3\)
Step 4 :Solving these equations for x1 and y1 gives us the coordinates of A.
