how do i find the other endpoint given that the midpoint of the segment is ((a+b)/2,(c+d)/2) and one end point is located at (b,d)?

Question

i don't even know where to start with this problem, please help? I need to see how to work this out

Answer 1

This seems like a tricky question the way that it's stated but...

 

The midpoint of a segment is found by taking the average of the two x-coordinates and the average of the two y-coordinates.

 

Since the midpoint of the segment is ((a+b)/2, (c+d)/2) and the coordinates of one endpoint are (b,d), the other endpoint must be (a,c).
