Example Questions

Example Question #7 : How To Find The Endpoints Of A Line Segment

The midpoint for a line with an endpoint at (3, 1) is (7, 8) . What are the coordinates for the other endpoint?

Possible Answers:

(11, 15)

(2, 6)

(15, 11)

(-1, -7)

Correct answer:

(11, 15)

Explanation:

Recall how to find the midpoint of a line:

$\text{Midpoint}=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

In other words, the coordinates of the midpoint are just the average of the and coordinates of the endpoints.

We can then solve for the coordinate of the second endpoint.

Let's start with the coordinate by using the given midpoint and endpoint.

$\frac{3+x}{2}=7$

3+x=14

x=11

Now, let's solve for the coordinate.

$\frac{y+1}{2}=8$

y+1=16

y=15

The coordinate for the other endpoint must be (11, 15) .
