Example Question #21 : How To Find The Endpoints Of A Line Segment

A line segment has an endpoint at (11, -2) and a midpoint at (5, 0) . Find the coordinates of the other endpoint.

Possible Answers:

(-1, 2)

(3, -2)

(-1, 0)

(2, 1)

Correct answer:

(-1, 2)

Explanation:

Recall how to find the midpoint of a line segment:

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

where $(x_1, y_1)\text{ and}(y_1, y_2)$ are the endpoints.

Let's first focus on the coordinate of the other endpoint. Using the information given by the question, we can write the following equation:

$\frac{11+x_2}{2}=5$

Solve for x_2 .

11+x_2=10

x_2=-1

Next, find the coordinate of the other endpoint. Using the information given by the question, we can write the following equation:

$\frac{-2+y_2}{2}=0$

-2+y_2=0

y_2=2

The second endpoint must be at (-1, 2) .
