Find the coordinates of the other endpoint of the segment, given its midpoint and one endpoint. (Hint: Let (w.y) be the unknown endpoint. Apply the midpoint
formula, and solve the two equations for x and y.)
midpoint (11.-5), endpoint (19.-14)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Here,

Given, The midpoint of two points is (11,-5). And another coordinate is (19,-14).

We need to find tge missing coordinate.

Let (x,y) be another endpoint of line.

So, Using midpoint formula,

[tex](x,y) = (\frac{x1 + x2}{2} ,\frac{y1 + y2}{2} )[/tex]

Put all values.

[tex](11, - 5) = \frac{19 + x}{2} ,\frac{ - 14 + y}{2} [/tex]

Since they are equal, equating with their corresponding elements we get,

[tex]11 = \frac{19 + x}{2} [/tex]

Simplify it.

[tex]22 = 19 + x[/tex]

[tex]x = 22 - 19[/tex]

Therefore the value of x is 3.

Again,

[tex] - 5 = \frac{ - 14 + y}{2} [/tex]

[tex] - 10 = - 14 + y[/tex]

[tex]y = - 10 + 14[/tex]

Therefore the value of y is 4.

So, the coordinates are (3,4).

Hope it helps.....
