Asegment has a midpoint at (2, -7) and an endpoint at (8, -5). what are the coordinates of the other endpoint?

Answer : The coordinates of another endpoint is, (-4, -9)

Step-by-step explanation :

The expression used to calculate the coordinates of another endpoint of a segment with midpoint is:

Let the coordinates of midpoint be, (x,y)

The coordinates of one endpoint be, (x₁,y₁)

The coordinates of another endpoint be, (x₂,y₂)

As we are given that:

(x,y) = (2, -7)

(x₁,y₁) = (8, -5)

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

and

and

and

Thus, the coordinates of another endpoint is, (x₂,y₂) = (-4, -9)
