Question 429133: Good Morning,
My math question is if P(-8,3) is one endpoint and M(-3,10) is the midpoint of segment PQ, find the other endpoint Q.
I only missed one class and this is what our teacher covered! Thanks for your help!

Hi
Midpoint Pt(x,y): ( %28x%5B1%5D+%2B+x%5B2%5D%29%2F2, %28y%5B1%5D+%2B+y%5B2%5D%29%2F2++%29)
( -8 + x)/2 = -3
-8+x = -6
x = 2
(3+y)/2 = 10
3+y = 20
y = 17
Other endpoint Q is (2,17)
