\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since M(-4,2)is the midpoint, this means that the midpoint coordinates are \"x=-4\" and \"y=2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the formula for the midpoint of the x-coordinate is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%5B1%5D%2Bx%5B2%5D%29%2F2=x%5Bmid%5D\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-6%2Bx%5B2%5D%29%2F2=-4\" Plug in \"x%5Bmid%5D=-4\" and \"x%5B1%5D=-6\" (this is from point P). Note: \"x%5B2%5D\" is the x-coordinate for the point Q\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-6%2Bx%5B2%5D=-8\" Multiply both sides by 2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5B2%5D=-2\" Add 6 to both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the x-coordinate for point Q is \"x=-2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now the formula for the midpoint of the y-coordinate is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28y%5B1%5D%2By%5B2%5D%29%2F2=y%5Bmid%5D\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%286%2By%5B2%5D%29%2F2=2\" Plug in \"y%5Bmid%5D=2\" and \"y%5B1%5D=6\" (this is from point P). Note: \"y%5B2%5D\" is the y-coordinate for the point Q\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2By%5B2%5D=4\" Multiply both sides by 2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5B2%5D=-2\" Subtract 6 from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the y-coordinate for point Q is \"y=-2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the point Q is (-2,-2)
