Question

The midpoint of a line segment is located at (3, -2). If one of the endpoints is (1, 6), what is the other endpoint? Express your answer as an ordered pair.

Accepted Answer

Let the other endpoint be (x, y). We know that 1 + x2 = 3, so x = 5. We also know that 6 + y2 = -2, so y = -10. Therefore, the other endpoint is (5, -10).
