PLS HELP!!!! The midpoint of KL is M(–8, 1). One endpoint is K(–6, 5). Find the coordinates of the other endpoint L.
@Shadow @bm717
\[M = ( \frac{ x _{1} + x _{2}}{ 2 } , \frac{ y _{1} + y _{2} }{ 2 })\]
Frick hold on x'D
LMAO STOP
BYE
Just a formula (:
Die.
so, the midpoint formula right?
Yes, just input your points, add, then divide.
so, -10, -3?
Well actually this is one endpoint and a midpoint, so this is a bit different. Lol
What did you do?
I did -8-6=14 to the second power, which is 3.7
wait, I'm using the wrong formula, sorry
8-6=14, 14/2=7
then, 1+5=6, 6/2=3
so, it should be 7, 3 right?
You're skipping the negatives, and that's now how you would approach it.
We need to find the other endpoint. The formula I posted below is when you have both endpoints, you need to restructure it a bit for this problem.
what do you mean?
The midpoint of KL is M(–8, 1). One endpoint is K(–6, 5). Find the coordinates of the other endpoint L. This is asking for the "other endpoint L" \[M = ( \frac{ x _{1} + x _{2}}{ 2 } , \frac{ y _{1} + y _{2} }{ 2 })\] This solves for the midpoint when you have both of the endpoints. We already have the midpoint, we need the other endpoint.
But where's what you can do. \[-8 = \frac{ x _{1} + x _{2}}{ 2 } , 1 = \frac{ y _{1} + y _{2} }{ 2 }\]
Input the values for the endpoint you have, and solve for the x and y value for the other end point.
Let me know if you need help with the steps.
