* One endpoint of a line segment has coordinates represented by (x + 2, 5y): The midpoint of the line segment is (6, –3).

How are the coordinates of the other endpoint expressed in terms of x and y?

Answer:


m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) \\ = ( - 3 - 5y)/(6 - (x + 2)) \\ = ( - 3 - 5y)/(6 - x - 2) \\ m = ( - 3 - 5y)/(4 - x)
