6. One of the endpoints of a line segment is located at (9,8). The midpoint of the line segment is located at (−3,−16). What are the coordinates of the other endpoint of the line segment?A (6,−8)B. (3,−4)C. (−6,−32)D. (−15,−40)
Q. 6. One of the endpoints of a line segment is located at (9,8). The midpoint of the line segment is located at (−3,−16). What are the coordinates of the other endpoint of the line segment?A (6,−8)B. (3,−4)C. (−6,−32)D. (−15,−40)
Midpoint formula: Midpoint formula: (2x1+x2,2y1+y2)Given midpoint (−3,−16) and one endpoint (9,8).
Given midpoint and endpoint: Let's call the other endpoint (x2,y2). (−3,−16)=(29+x2,28+y2)
Solve for x2: Solve for x2: −3=29+x2−6=9+x2x2=−6−9x2=−15
Solve for y2: Solve for y2: −16=2(8+y2)−32=8+y2y2=−32−8y2=−40
