Question

The endpoint of a line segment is (-9, 7). The midpoint of the segment is (10, -3). Find the other endpoint. *show work*

Answer 1

First we will find the x coordinate.

x1+x2 / 2 = the x coordinate of the midpoint.

-9 + x2 / 2 = 10
x2/2 -4.5 = 10
x2/2 = 14.5
x2 = 29

Now the y coordinate:

y1+y2 /2 = y coordinate of the midpoint

7 + y2 / 2 = -3
y2/2 + 3.5 = -3
y2/2 = -6.5
y2 = -13

So the other endpoint is (29,-13)

I hope i am right :)
