Answer:

R(19, 4)

Explanation:

Given the midpoint
\overline R\overline S to be (19.5, 9.5) with one ens point S as (20, 15), to get the coordinate of the other end point, we need to use the formula for calculating the midpoint of two coordinates.

for x coordinate;

X =
(x_1+x_2)/(2)

for y coordinate;

Y =
(y_1+y_2)/(2)

where (X, Y) is the midpoint

Given
x_1 = 20, and
y_1 = 15, we are to get the coordinate (
x_2,
y_2)

(X, Y) =
[(x_1+x_2)/(2), (y_1+y_2)/(2)]

(19.5, 9.5) =
[(20+x_2)/(2), (15+y_2)/(2)]

comparing the coordinates;


(20+x_2)/(2) = 19.5\ and (15+y_2)/(2) = 9.5\\20+x_2 = 39\\x_2 = 39-20\\x_2 = 19\\\\Similarly;\\15+y_2 = 19\\y_2 = 19-15\\y_2 = 4

The coordinate R will be (19, 4)
