Question

A line segment has a midpoint of (1, 3/2). If one end point is (7,2) , what is the other endpoint?

Answer 1

(-5, 1)

Explanation:

Subtract. (7, 2)

- _(1,1.5)_

(6,0.5)

Now subtract this number from the midpoint.

(1,1.5)

- _(6, 0.5)_

(-5,1)

This is a trick, so it might not be exactly how your teacher wants you to show your work.
