\n" ); document.write( "Solve the problem by working with the x coordinates separately and the y coordinates separately.

\n" ); document.write( "The distance in the x direction from A to B is 3-0=3; the difference in the y direction from A to B is 6-1=5.

\n" ); document.write( "1. Midpoint.
\n" ); document.write( "The distance in the x direction from A to the midpoint is half the distance in the x direction from A to B; the distance in the y direction from A to the midpoint is half the distance in the y direction from A to B.

\n" ); document.write( "2. Extended endpoint in A.
\n" ); document.write( "The distance in the x direction from A to this new endpoint is equal to the distance in the x direction from the midpoint to A; the distance in the y direction from A to this new endpoint is equal to the distance in the y direction from the midpoint to A.

\n" ); document.write( "3. Extended endpoint in B.
\n" ); document.write( "The distance in the x direction from B to this new endpoint is equal to the distance in the x direction from the midpoint to B; the distance in the y direction from B to this new endpoint is equal to the distance in the y direction from the midpoint to B.
