Algebra.Com's Answer #161664 by drj(1380)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are given an endpoint and the midpoint of a line segment. Find the coordinates of the other endpoint. Each midpoint is denoted by M(x, y) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "C(-4,-5)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "M(3,-6)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let (x,y) be the other endpoint. Then for this example the midpoint is calculated by averaging the x and y coordinates of the endpoints. That is,\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the other endpoint is (10,-7)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "As a check between the two endpoints (10,-7) and (-4,-5), let's calculate the midpoint.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the midpoint is (3,-6) which is same as before.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope the above steps were helpful.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For FREE Step-By-Step videos in Introduction to Algebra, please visit \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "http://www.FreedomUniversity.TV/courses/IntroAlgebra and for Trigonometry visit \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "http://www.FreedomUniversity.TV/courses/Trigonometry.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Good luck in your studies!\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Respectfully, \n" ); document.write( "Dr J\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
