PLEASE HURRY

Line segment CT contains the point C(−2, 5) and a midpoint at A(1, −3). What is the location of endpoint T? T(4, −11) T(3, −8) T(5, −1) T(−0.5, 1)

Point A is the midpoint of CT which means the ratio of CA:CT would be 1:2.
To find CT, you need to find the distance of CA then applies 2 times of the distance to the point C

Xca= Xa-Xc= 1- (-2)= 3
Yca= Ya- Yc= -3 -5= -8

Xt= Xc + 2* Xca= -2 + 2*3= 4
Yt= Yc + 2* Yca= 5 + 2*-8= -11
T(Xt, Yt)= T(4, -11)

The coordinate for point T would be (4, -11)
