Mid-Point(M) in the complex plane states that the midpoint of the line segment joining two complex numbers a+bi and s+ti is the average of the numbers at the endpoints.

It is given by: $M = \frac{a+s}{2} +(\frac{b+t}{2})i$

Given: The midpoint = -1 + i and the segment has an endpoint at -5 - 7i

Find the other endpoints.

Let a + bi = -5 -7i and let other endpoint s + ti (i represents imaginary )

Here, a = -5 and b = -7 to find s and t.

then;

$-1+i = \frac{-5+s}{2} + ( \frac{-7+t}{2})i$ [Apply Mid-point formula]

On comparing both sides

we get;

$-1 = \frac{-5+s}{2}$ and $1 = \frac{-7+t}{2}$

To solve for s:

$-1 = \frac{-5+s}{2}$

-2 = -5+s

Add 5 to both side we have;

-2+5 = -5+s+5

Simplify:

3 = s or

s =3

Now, to solve for t;

$1 = \frac{-7+t}{2}$

2 =-7+t

Add 7 to both sides we get;

2+7 = -7+t+7

Simplify:

9 = t

t =9

Therefore, the other end point (s+ti) is, 3+9i
