If one end point of a line segment is (-6,4), and the midpoint of the segment is (-2,7), how do you find the other end point?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "The coordinates of the midpoint are the average of the
\n" ); document.write( "corresponding coordinates of the endpoints.
\n" ); document.write( "===============================================
\n" ); document.write( "Your Problem:
\n" ); document.write( "Let the other endpoint be (x,y)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve:
\n" ); document.write( "(-6+x)/2 = -2
\n" ); document.write( "-6+x = -4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "(4+y)/2 = 7
\n" ); document.write( "4+y = 14
\n" ); document.write( "y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Other endpoint: (2,10)
\n" ); document.write( "==============
