Question

11. Mis the midpoint of QR. Q is at (-8, 2) and M is at (4, -3). Find the coordinates of the endpoint R.​

Answer 1

R(16,-8)

Explanation:

if (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are coordinates of two points and (x,y) the coordinate of midpoint.

then x=(x1+x2)/2

and y=(y1+y2)/2

let coordinates of R are (x,y)

4=(-8+x)/2

8=-8+x

x=8+8=16

-3=(2+y)/2

-6=2+y

y=-6-2=-8

so R is (16,-8)
