Question 181556
yes the midpoint formula states that between any two points the midpoint is 
:
((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2).....so the average of the x coordinates and the average of the y coordinates
:
In this case we know what the midpoint is(point B).  What we are after is the other endpoint lets call it C=(x,y)
:
so we have ((-4+x)/2=2 , (4+y)/2=8)
:
-4+x=4
:
x=8
:
4+y=16
:
y=12 
:
so it would extend to C= (8,12)
