Question

Find the coordinates of the other endpoint when given midpoint (point M) and one of the endpoints (point P). P=(3,5) and M=(-2,0)

Answer 1

`~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ P(\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad \underline{Q}(\stackrel{x_2}{x}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{y}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{x+3}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{y+3}{2} \right)=\stackrel{M}{(-2,0)}\implies \begin{cases} \cfrac{x+3}{2}=-2\\[1em] x+3=-4\\ \boxed{x = -7}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ \cfrac{y+3}{2}=0\\[1em] y+3=0\\ \boxed{y=-3} \end{cases}`
