Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given two coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂), the midpoint of the coordinates is expressed as M(X,Y) = [tex](\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex] where;
[tex]X = \dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2}\ and \ Y = \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}[/tex]
Given the midpoint (X, Y) = (1,6) and one end point to be (-2,1), to get the unknown endpoint (x,y), we will apply the formula above. from the coordinates given X = 1, Y = 6, x₁ = -2 and y₁ = 1
[tex]Given \ X = \dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2}\\1 = \dfrac{-2+x}{2}\\cross \ multiply\\2 = -2+x\\x = 2+2\\x = 4[/tex]
Similarly to get y;
[tex]Given \ Y = \dfrac{y_1+y}{2}\\6 = \dfrac{1+y}{2}\\cross \ multiply\\2*6 = 1+y\\12 = 1+y\\y = 12-1\\y = 11[/tex]
Hence the unknown endpoint (x,y) is (4,11)
