Answer:

the other endpoint is
(14,-13)

Explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to


M((x1+x2)/(2),(y1+y2)/(2))

Let


(x1,y1)=(16,-3)

so


(16+x2)/2=15 ----->
x2=30-16=14


(-3+y2)/2=-8 ----->
y2=-16+3=-13

therefore

the other endpoint is
(x2,y2)=(14,-13)
