Answer:
A. (2, 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on a coordinates plane then
coordinates of the midpoint is given by (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2
__________________________________________________
Given
one endpoint is (–6, 4) and midpoint is (–2, 7)
let coordinates of other endpoint be (x,y)
now if one endpoint is (–6, 4) and other endpoint is (x,y)
then coordinates of midpoint is ((-6+x)/2 , (4+y)/2)
while the coordinates of midpoint given is (–2, 7)
thus (–2, 7) should be equal to ((-6+x)/2 , (4+y)/2)
-2 = (-6+x)/2 and 7 = (4+y)/2
=> -2*2 = -6+x => 7*2 = 4+y
=> -4 = -6+x => 14 = 4+y
=> -4+6 = x => 14-4 = y
=> x = 2 => 10 = y
Thus, coordinates of the other endpoint is(2,10)
