Question

Explain how you get the answer PLease, i know how to get it and i know the process i just keep getting the wrong answer

Answer 1

The Midpoint UV is (5, -11). The coordinates of one endpoint are U(3,5). What is the coordinate of the endpoin V.

Answer 2

the formula for midpoint is \[\huge\rm (\frac{ x_1+x_2 }{ 2 } , \frac{ y_1+y_2 }{ 2 })\]given is (x_1 ,y_1) order pair and midpoint (x,y)
we can separate both x's and y's \[\large\rm \frac{ x_1+x_2 }{ 2 }=(x-coordinate ~of~midpoint)\]
\[\large\rm \frac{ y_1 +y_2 }{ 2 }=(y-coordinate ~of ~midpoint)\]
replace (x_1 ,y_1) with the given end point

Answer 3

So would x_1 and y_1 be the midpoint and x_2 and y_2 the endpoint or the other way around?

Answer 4

no (x_1 ,y_1) is the endpoint (3,5)

Answer 5

you have to solve for x_2 and y_2

Answer 6

Oh! Okay

Answer 7

like to find x-coordinate of 2nd endpoint
\[\large\rm \frac{ x_1+x_2 }{ 2 }=(x-coordinate ~of~midpoint)\]
\[\large\rm \frac{ 3+x_2 }{ 2 }=5\]
now solve for x_2

Answer 8

7?

Answer 9

yes right you can check your work \[\frac{ 3+7 }{ 2 }\]
if you get 5 then yes ofc it's right
bec the midpoint (5,-11) is given

Answer 10

so what would the other endpoint be?

Answer 11

we got the x-coordinate now find y-coordinate

Answer 12

\[\large\rm \frac{ y_1 +y_2 }{ 2 }=(y-coordinate ~of ~midpoint)\]

Answer 13

5+y_2/2=-11?

Answer 14

yes right!

Answer 15

-27?

Answer 16

yes right

Answer 17

so 7, -27?

Answer 18

yep

Answer 19

Thank you so much!

Answer 20

np :=)
just an advice
the drawing in ur pfp is really good you should post that in design if youdrw that pic

Answer 21

Thank you hahah
