Question

Given the endpoint A(1, 3) and the midpoint C(6, 2), find the other endpoint B(x, y).

Group of answer choices
(11, 1)

(3.5, 2.5)

(7, 5)

(6, 12)

Answer 1

(11, 1)

Explanation:

Since we are given one endpoint and the midpoint, we can find the changes in the x and y coordinates to find the coordinates of the other endpoint.

x: 6-1=5

y: 2-3=-1

Now that we have the differences in the x and y coordinates, we can then use this to find the other endpoint.

x: 6+5=11

y: 2-1=1

Based on this, the other endpoint will be at (11, 1).
