One endpoint of a line segment is at (1, 2). The line is bisected by placing the midpoint of the line segment at (5, 8). What are the coordinates of the other endpoint?
Hi Genys ,
One endpoint of a line segment is at (1, 2). The line is bisected by placing the midpoint of the line segment at (5, 8). What are the coordinates of the other endpoint?
x value 1+4=5 5+4=9
y value 2+6=8 8+6=14
So the other end will be (9,14)
Can you see how I did that? Oh, and can you see why it would work?
Try plotting it on a graph then you may see more easily. :)
