Question

What is the other endpoint of the segment with midpoint -3 and endpoint -7

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

One of the endpoints and the midpoint of a line segment are -7 and -3 respectively.

So, the other endpoint is to be calculated.

Let us assume that the other endpoint is x.

Then x = - 3 + [- 3 - (- 7)] = -3 + 4 = 1

If we plot the numbers on the number line then we will find that the mid point of 1 and - 7 is - 3. (Answer)
