document.write( "        mid-point = (3,7);  one endpoint = (4,2).\r\n" );

document.write( "Imagine that the two given point are plotted in a coordinate plane with axes \"x\" and \"y\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then you go 1 unit  along the x-axis in the negative direction  (1 = 4-3)  from the given endpoint to the center.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Obviously, you should go one additional unit along x-axis in the negative direction to get the other endpoint.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, x-coordinate of the other endpoint is  3-1 = 2.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Similarly with the y-coordinate.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You go 5 units  along the y-axis in the positive direction  (5 = 7 - 2)  from the given endpoint to the center.\r\n" );

document.write( "Obviously, you should go 5 additional units along x-axis in the positive direction to get the other endpoint.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  The other midpoint is  (2,12).\r\n" );
