Question

The midpoint of GH is (-2,5). One endpoint is (-3,7) . What is the other endpoint?

Answer 1

Let the other endpoint be (x, y).

We can use the midpoint formula to find the x-coordinate of the other endpoint:

(x + (-3))/2 = -2

(x - 3)/2 = -2

x - 3 = -4

x = -1

We can also use the midpoint formula to find the y-coordinate of the other endpoint:

(y + 7)/2 = 5

(y + 7) = 10

y = 3

Therefore, the other endpoint is (-1, 3).
