the midpoint of cd is m(-3,-7). if the coordinates of c are (-2,-10), what are the coordinates of d?
---
The midpoint coordinates are the average of the end-point coordinates.
----
Let the coordinates of d be (x,y)
---
Solve:
(x+-2)/2 = -3
(y+-10)/2 = -7
----
x-2 = -6
y-10 = -14
---
x = = -4
y = -4
------------
