Algebra.Com's Answer #404169 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! An endpoint of a segment has coordinates 0,0. The midpoint has coordinates a,b Find the coordinates of the other endpoint. \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Let the coordinates of the other endpoint be (x,y) \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Note: the coordinates of the midpoint are the average of the corresponding \n" ); document.write( "endpoint coordinates. \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "a = (0+x)/2 \n" ); document.write( "2a = x \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "b = (0+y)/2 \n" ); document.write( "2b = y \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Coordinates of the \"other\" endpoint: (2a,2b) \n" ); document.write( "============================================= \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( " |
