Question

Find the endpoint of the segment with endpoint (4, 12) and midpoint (-1, 13)

Answer 1

Answer:

(-6,14)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given one endpoint and the midpoint, so we have to figure out how far apart these two points are:

(4,12) and (-1,13)

First, we take the x values because these two points are using the (x,y) pattern.

How far away are 4 and -1? The answer is 5.

How far away are 12 and 13? Only 1

If we start at the endpoint (4,12) and go to the midpoint at (-1,13), we go 5 to the left. That means we need to go 5 more spaces to the left to get to the other endpoint. The first part of our answer is -6, which is 5 to the left of -1.

Doing the same thing for the y values now, to get from 12 to 13 we go up 1. So we have to go up one more to find the y value of the other endpoint. If you are at 13 and you go up one, you are at 14.
