One end of a line segment has the coordinates (-6,2). If

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The coordinates of the other end is $(16,2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$End 1: (-6,2)$

$Midpoint: (5,2)$

Required

Find the coordinates of the other end

Let Midpoint be represented by (x,y);

(x,y) = (5,2) is calculated as thus

$(x,y) = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$

$x = \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}$ and $y = \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}$

Where $(x_1,y_1) = (-6,2)$ and $(x,y) = (5,2)$

So, we're solving for $(x_2,y_2)$

Solving for $x_2$

$x = \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}$

Substitute 5 for x and -6 for x₁

$5 = \frac{-6 + x_2}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2 * 5 = \frac{-6 + x_2}{2} * 2$

$10 = -6 + x_2$

Add 6 to both sides

$6 + 10 = -6 +6 + x_2$

$x_2 = 16$

Solving for $y_2$

$y = \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}$

Substitute 2 for y and 2 for y₁

$2 = \frac{2 + y_2}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2 * 2 = \frac{2 + y_2}{2} * 2$

$4 = 2 + y_2$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$4 - 2 = 2 - 2 + y_2$

$y_2 = 2$

$(x_2,y_2) = (16,2)$

Hence, the coordinates of the other end is $(16,2)$

Solve the equation -2 = 3x/5 + 1

kirill [66]

$- 2 = \dfrac{3x}{5} + 1 | \times 5 \\ - 10 = 3x + 5 \\ - 3x = 15 | \div ( - 3) \\ x = - 5$
