Question

The midpoint of FG is point H at (–5, 2). One endpoint is G(–9, –6). What is the y-coordinate of the other endpoint? The y-coordinate of the other endpoint is

Answer 1

The y-coordinate of the other endpoint is 10 units.

The given coordinates are H (-5, 2) and G (–9, –6).

We need to find the y-coordinate of the other endpoint.

What is the midpoint formula?

The mid-point formula is  $(x, y)=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2} , \frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2})$

Now, $(-5, 2)=(\frac{x_{1} +(-9)}{2} , \frac{y_{1} +(-6)}{2})$

⇒$2=\frac{y_{1}-6 }{2}$

⇒$4=y_{1}-6$

⇒$y_{1}=10$

Therefore, the y-coordinate of the other endpoint is 10 units.
