Midpoint : M (3, 5 )

Endpoint : C (0,0)

Apply the midpoint formula:


M(m1,m2)=((x1+x2)/(2),(y1+y2)/(2))

For the x coordinate:

m1 = (x1+x2) /2

3 = (0 + x2 ) /2

Solve for x2

3 (2) = x2

6= x2

x2 = 6

For the y-coordinate:

m2 = (y1+y2) /2

5 = (0+y2) /2

Solve for y2

5(2)= (0+y2)

10 = y2

y2 =10

Coordinates of endpoint B: (6,10)
