Question

Find the endpoint of the line segment with the given endpoint and midpoint.

Answer 1

Answer:

(10, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get from the given endpoint to the midpoint, 6 was added to x and 2 was added to y. As per the definition of a midpoint, the resulting two line segments will be congruent (first endpoint and midpoint congruent to midpoint and second endpoint). Use the same formula (x + 6, y + 2) to find the second endpoint (use the x and y of the midpoint):

(x + 6, y + 2)

(4 + 6, 0 +2)

(10, 2)

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$Midpoint (\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})\\\\(\frac{x_{1}-2}{2},\frac{y_{1}-2}{2})=(4,0)\\\frac{x_{1}-2}{2}= 4 ; \frac{y_{1}-2}{2}=0\\\\x_{1}-2=4*2 ; y_{1}-2=0\\\\x_{1}-2= 8 ; y_{1}-2=0\\\\x_{1}=8+2 ; y_{1}=0+2\\\\x_{1}=10 ; y_{1}=2$
