Question

Find the other endpoint if one endpoint is located at (-4, -5) and the midpoint is located at (0, 3).

A. (1, 9)
B. (-1, 8)
C. (3, 10)
D. (4, 11)

Answer 1

The other endpoint is (4, 7).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the other endpoint, we can use the midpoint formula:

Midpoint = [(x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2]

Plugging in the values (-4, -5) for one endpoint and (0, 3) for the midpoint, we get:

0 = (x1 - 4) / 2

6 = (y1 + 5) / 2

From the first equation, we can solve for x1:

x1 - 4 = 0

x1 = 4

From the second equation, we can solve for y1:

y1 + 5 = 12

y1 = 7

So, the other endpoint is (4, 7).
