The midpoint of QR is M (-3,-5) One endpoint is Q (-11,-3) Find the coordinates of the other endpoint
-----------------------------
The coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment are
the average of the corresponding coordinates of the endpoints.
-------------------------------
Let the other endpoint be (x,y)
---
Equations:
(x+-11)/2 = -3
x-11 = -6
x = 5
----------------
(y+-3)/2 = -5
y-3 = -10
y = -7
-----------------
Other end point is (5,-7)
