You can put this solution on YOUR website! The x-coordinate of the midpoint is at:
where and are
x-coordinates of the endpoints
----------------------------------
The y-coordinate of the midpoint is at:
where and are
y-coordinates of the endpoints
----------------------------------
I will say that:
( x[1], y[1] ) = M( 8, -2 )
( x[p], y[p] ) = P( -4, 6 )
I need to find N( x[2], y[2] )
--------------------------
First, using:
--------------------
Next, using:
--------------------------------
The other endpoint is at: N( -16, 14 )
--------------------------------
check:
and
OK
