Question

Find the coordinates of the other endpoint of the​ segment, given its midpoint and one endpoint.​ (Hint: Let​ (x,y) be the unknown endpoint. Apply the midpoint​ formula, and solve the two equations for x and​ y.) midpoint ​(8​,- 1​), endpoint ​(0​,- 2​)

Answer 1

Mid point formula =
(x1/2+x2/2, y1/2+y2/2)

x=
x+0 = 8
/2
x+0 = 8 x 2
x = 16

y=
y+(-2) = 1
/2
y-2 =1 x2
y=2+2
y=4

(16,4)

(In this case, the midpoint (x ,y) will be represent as the answer)
