One endpoint P and the midpoint M of the line segment PQ are given. Find the coordinates of the other endpoint, Q. P(2, −2); M(2, 2)
You can solve this problem with our SAT app (facebook.com/calctech) First thing to do is to find the slope.
cannot access facebook thanks for the insite
calc-tech.com works too.
The distance between the two points is 4
2,-2 -2,-2 ------ 0,-4 +2,-2 ----- 2,-6...... maybe
the line is vertical no slope
There you can see a diagram of this situation.
(2,-2).......(2,2)....(2,6) is better
gonna have to see what i missed lol
Amistre- thanks for hte help, from your first post I was able to figure out where i was wrong also.. it was adding the negative to become positive..
Right and you can see that from the graph.
just look at the y-coordinates
cool ;)
Calctech, the sites you are providing a iCannot pull up from where they are freezing. I have written them down adn will check them out on another machine.. thanks
at CNET you get a free trial. You use it during the SAT test to solve math equations. I mentioned it because it solves problems like these using line tools.
if i start with the midpoint intead of the end point i get...... 2,2 -2,2 ----- 0,4 then add the midpoint again i get 2,2 -------- 2,6...thats what i did wrong...started with the wrong point lol
