does any1 kno how 2 find the coordinates of a end point of a segment with the given end point and mid point?
Yes,
kan u help
sure ,post the question
k wait a minuet
A(6,7) m(10,-7)
find the difference (4,-14)
you hav 2 divide both of them by two though
add to mid point (14,-21)
were did u get 4,-14?
10-6 -7-7
imranmeah kan u show steps pls?
A(6,7) m(10,-7) so you know the distance between mid point and one end point is same as it is to the other end point To go from A to m x goes up by 4 ->(10-6) y goes by -14 -> (-7-7)
IF given an endpoint and if given the midpoint, we can find the other endpoint: first let's think *-----------*------------* End Mid End How can we relate these? Well to find the midpoint we do: \[( \frac{firstendx+lastendx}{2}, \frac{firstendy+lastendy}{2})=Midpoint(x,y)\] so we have the equations \[x=\frac{firstendx+lastendx}{2}, y=\frac{firstendy+lastendy}{2}\] where (x,y) we are using to symbolize the midpoint we want to solve for one of the ends lets say we are trying to find the lastend so we have \[2x-fristendx=lastendx, 2y-firstendy=lastendy\] so we can find the endpoint by using (\[(2x-firstendx,2y-firstendy)\] do i say this right i will review in a second lol
knowing that we add that x and y difference to mid point to get other end point difference -->4,-14 mid point -->10,-7 ------ (14 , -21)
:) yes looks good
if you understand my symbolism lol
using my formula above we say the other endpoint is \[(2(10)-6,2(-7)-7)=(20-6,-14-7)=(14,-21)\]
which is the samething as what imran got
choose your favorite way
i mean you don't have to tell us lol
you just have to find out whats right for you
It's okay, no hard feeling
lol
