Find the coordinates of the other endpoint when you are given the midpoint (point M) and one of the endpoints (point P)

The known endpoint is P = (-16,0)

Let Q = (x,y) be the other endpoint. It is unknown for now.

Looking at the x coordinates of P and Q, we see that they are -16 and x respectively. Adding these values up gives -16+x. Dividing that result by 2 gives (-16+x)/2. This result is exactly equal to the midpoint x coordinate, which is the x coordinate of M (0). 

So we have this equation (-16+x)/2 = 0. Let's solve for x

(-16+x)/2 = 0
2*(-16+x)/2 = 2*0
-16+x = 0
x-16 = 0
x-16+16 = 0+16
x = 16

Therefore the x coordinate of point Q is 16.

------------------------------------

Let's do something similar for the y coordinates.

The y coordinates of P and Q are 0 and y respectively. Add them up and divided by 2, then set the result equal to -16 (y coordinate of midpoint M) getting this equation (0+y)/2 = -16

Solve for y

(0+y)/2 = -16
y/2 = -16
2*y/2 = 2*(-16)
y = -32

The y coordinate of point Q is -32

------------------------------------

The point Q goes from (x,y) to (16, -32)

Final Answer: (16, -32)

Does the point (4, 0) satisfy the equation y = x2?
andre [41]
Y=x^2
substitute the values into the original equation
0=4^2
0=16
No it does not satisfy the equation because 0 does not equal to 16

Factor the expression. 9b2 – 25
rewona [7]

Answer: (3b + 5)(3b - 5)

Because both terms, 9b² and 25, are perfect squares, you can factor by taking the square roots of both terms.

The square root of 9b² is 3b (3b × 3b = 9b²).

The square root of 25 is 5 (5 × 5 = 25).

9b² - 25 has a negative, so the factored expression would be

(3b + 5)(3b - 5). The signs (+ and -) alternate in this case because the  expression, 9b² - 25, has no middle term.

You can check your work by using FOIL. See the attachment below.
