find the endpoint, Q, of the segment that contains the endpoint P(4,-1) and M(3,5)
----
Note: The coordinates of a midpoint are the
average of the corresponding coordinates in
the end points.
===========================================
If M is the mid-point and Q is (x,y)
--
3 = (x+4)/2 and 5 = (y-1)/2
---
6 = x+4 and 10 = y-1
---
x = 2 and y = 11
---
Q is (2,11)
================
