Given the midpoint (1.5,1.5) and the endpoint (5,7) where is the other endpoint located

earnstyle [38]

The formula of a midpoint:

$M_{AB}\left(\dfrac{x_A+x_B}{2},\ \dfrac{y_A+y_B}{2}\right)$

We have:

$M(1.5,\ 1.5)\to x_M=1.5,\ y_M=1.5\\A(5,\ 7)\to x_A=5,\ y_A=7$

Substitute

$\dfrac{5+x_B}{2}=1.5\qquad|\cdot2\\\\5+x_B=3\qquad|-5\\\\x_B=-2\\\\\dfrac{7+y_B}{2}=1.5\qquad|\cdot2\\\\7+y_B=3\qquad|-7\\\\y_B=-4$
