Question

* One endpoint of a line segment has coordinates represented by (x + 2, 5y): The midpoint of the line segment is (6, –3).
How are the coordinates of the other endpoint expressed in terms of x and y?

Answer 1

Answer:

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \\ = \frac{ - 3 - 5y}{6 - (x + 2)} \\ = \frac{ - 3 - 5y}{6 - x - 2} \\ m = \frac{ - 3 - 5y}{4 - x}$
