Question

One endpoint of a segment is located at (14,21) find the coordinates of the other ep if the midpoints coordinates are (41,50)

Answer 1

`~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{14}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{21})\qquad (\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 +14}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y +21}{2} \right) ~~ = ~~\stackrel{midpoint}{(41~~,~~50)} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{ x +14}{2}=41\implies x+14=82\implies \boxed{x=68} \\\\\\ \cfrac{ y +21}{2}=50\implies y+21=100\implies \boxed{y=79}`
