Example :
u have an endpoint at (6,5)......ad the midpoint is (4,2)....find the other endpoint.
midpoint formula : (x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2
one endpoint (6,5)....x1 = 6 and y1 = 5
other endpoint (x,y)...x2 = x and y2 = y
sub into the formula
m = (6 + x) / 2, (5 + y) / 2
okay, so the midpoint is (4,2)....so ur x value will equal 4
(6 + x) / 2 = 4...multiply both sides by 2
6 + x = 4 * 2
6 + x = 8
x = 8 - 6
x = 2 <==
midpoint is (4,2)....so the y value will equal 2
(5 + y) / 2 = 2 ...multiply both sides by 2
5 + y = 2 * 2
5 + y = 4
y = 4 - 5
y = -1 <==
so ur other endpoints are (2,-1)
you want me to do step by step or just tell you the answer?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:y=1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The equation of the line is y = (-1/2)x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, have to find gradient using the formula above :
(2,4) & (14,-2)
m = (-2-4) / (14-2)
= -6 / 12
= -1/2
Second, using y = mx + b as b is a constant and is a y-intercept. Using any of these 2 coordinates to find the value of b with given gradient :
y = mx + b
Let y=4 & x=2
4 = (-1/2)(2) + b
b = 4 + 1
= 5
Lastly, put the value of gradient and y-intercept into the equation :
y = mx + b
Let m=-1/2 & b=5
y = (-1/2)x + 5
Answer:
12x + 4x + 20
4(3x + x + 5)
4(4x+5)
