Question

The midpoint of a line segment is located at (3, -2). If one of the endpoints is (1, 6), what is the other endpoint? Express your answer as an ordered pair.

Answer 1

(5,-10)

Answer 2

us midpoint formula

Answer 3

You got the mid point (3,-2)

And the mid point formula is.

(x₁+x₂)/2,(y₁+y₂)/2

And setting one of the end point that is (1,6), and setting equal to the mid point would be something like this.

(1+x₂)/2,(6+y₂)/2=(3,-2)

So if you sett equal y equation, and x ecuation will be

(1+x₂)/2=3

Solve for x

x=5

And solving for y

(6+y₂)/2=-2

y₂=-10

So the points are

(5,-10)

Hope you understand.
