Final answer:

The answer to the student's question cannot be determined because there are no specific coordinates provided for the given endpoint or the midpoint.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question pertains to the concept of midpoints and endpoints in a one-dimensional coordinate system. To find the unknown endpoint of a line segment when you are given one endpoint and the midpoint, you can use the midpoint formula which is (endpoint1 + endpoint2) / 2 = midpoint. However, because the student has not included any specific coordinates for either the given endpoint or the midpoint, this calculation cannot be completed. Thus, the correct answer to the question as it stands is (a) It cannot be determined due to a lack of sufficient information.
