Find the coordinates of the missing endpoint given that S is the midpoint of RT.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "T(-4,3),S(-1,5)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1. Let (x,y) be the endpoint. So the average of the x and y coordinates for the endpoints will be the midpoint. The following steps will show this\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. The x-coordinate for the midpoint S is -1. Then\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-1=%28x%2B%28-4%29%29%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-1%29=%28x-4%29%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-2%29=x-4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. The y-coordinate for the midpoint S is 5. Then\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5=%28y%2B3%29%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5=%28y%2B3%29%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"10=y%2B3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=7\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 3. ANSWER: So the endpoint is (2,7) \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 4. As a check the other endpoint is (-4,3). Then the midpoint is calculated as\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2B%28-4%29%29%2F2=-1\" so the x-coordinate of the midpoint is -1\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%287%2B3%29%2F2=5\" so the y-coordinate of the midpoint is 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The midpoint is then (-1,5) which was given. So it checks out!\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope the above steps were helpful. \r
