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)

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we have to get x by itself. To do this, perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation.

5x+14=k

First, subtract 14 from both sides, because 14 is being added on to 5x. Subtraction is the opposite of addition.

5x+14-14=k-14

5x=k-14

Now, divide both sides by 5, because 5 and x are being multiplied. Division is the opposite of multiplication.

5x/5=k-14/5

x=k-14/5

So, the correct answer is choice B
