SOLUTION: you are given an endpoint and a midpoint of a line segment. find the coordinates of the other endpoint. each midpoint is denoted by M(x,y). C(-4,-5) M(3,-6)

Question 795421: you are given an endpoint and a midpoint of a line segment. find the coordinates of the other endpoint. each midpoint is denoted by M(x,y). C(-4,-5) M(3,-6)

"find the coordinates of the other endpoint. each midpoint is denoted by M(x,y). C(-4,-5) M(3,-6)"

No. Not like that!

One end point given is C(-4,-5), and the midpoint is M(3,-6), so choose or use the UNKNOWN other endpoint as some U(x,y).

The coordinate values according to the midpoint formula would be arranged like this:
, and
Just solve for x and for y. You will then have the unknown endpoint U(x,y).
