could you find one endpoint of a segment given the other endpoint and the midpoint? if so,demonstrate by finding the endpoint of the segment with one endpoint(-4,7) and (2,5) as the midpoint.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

-4,7 +2,5 ----- -2,12

OpenStudy (amistre64):

that aint it lol

I'd translate the midpoint to the origin and translate the other endpoint the same amount (2,5)->(0,0) (-4,7)->(-6,2) At the origin there is that reflection thing so the other end point would be at (6,-2) then i translate it back to the original location (6,-2)->(8,3)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

2,5 -(-4,2) ------ 6,3 +(2,5) ----- 8,8

OpenStudy (amistre64):

8,3; but darned if I can get there with my georgia math ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was thinking about doing something with the other endpoint having to be on the line defined by these two points but meh idk if that would even work

OpenStudy (amistre64):

-4,7....not 2 lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

2,5 -(-4,7) ------ 6,-2 +(2,5) ------ 8,3 there it is lol

Oh i see what you were doing. Cool.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i was messing up is what I was doing ;) but I got it in the end...

OpenStudy (anonymous):
