(i) Since B is the midpoint of AC, we have:
\(\frac{2 + x}{2} = n \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 2n - 2\)
\(\frac{m + y}{2} = -6 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -12 - m\)
Thus, the coordinates of C are \((2n - 2, -12 - m)\).
(ii) The line \(y = x + 1\) passes through C, so:
\(-12 - m = (2n - 2) + 1\)
\(-12 - m = 2n - 1\)
\(m + 2n = -11\)
The line is perpendicular to AB, so the slope of AB is the negative reciprocal of 1:
\(\frac{m + 6}{2 - n} = -1\)
\(m + 6 = -2 + n\)
\(m - n = -8\)
Solving the equations:
\(m + 2n = -11\)
\(m - n = -8\)
Subtract the second from the first:
\(3n = -3\)
\(n = -1\)
Substitute \(n = -1\) into \(m - n = -8\):
\(m + 1 = -8\)
\(m = -9\)
Thus, \(m = -9\) and \(n = -1\).
