Answer:
(3,7) for the first line, and (12,0) for the second one.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi Isabella,
1) The Midpoint of a line, when it comes to Analytical Geometry, is calculated as Mean of two points it follows:
[tex]x_{m}=\frac{x_{1} +x_{2} } {2}, y_{m} =\frac{y_{1}+ y_{2} }{2}[/tex]
2) Each segment has two endpoints, and their midpoints, namely:
a) (1,-9) and its midpoint (2,-1)
b) (-2,18) and its midpoint (5,9)
3) Calculating. You need to be careful to not sum the wrong coordinates.
So be attentive!
The first line a
[tex]2=\frac{1+x_{2} }{2}\\ 4=1+x_{2}\\ 4-1=-1+1+x_{2} \\ x_{2}=3\\-1=\frac{y_{2}-9}{2}\\-2=y_{2}-9\\+2-2=y_{2}-9+2\\ y_{2}=-7[/tex]
So (3,7) is the other endpoint whose segment starts at (1,-9)
The second line b endpoint at (-2,18) and its midpoint (5,9)
[tex]5=\frac{-2+x_{2} }{2} \\ 10=-2+x_{2} \\ +2+10=+2-2+x_{2}\\ x_{2}=12 \\ \\ 9=\frac{18+y_{2} }{2} \\ 18=18+y_{2} \\ -18+18=-18+18+y_{2}\\ y_{2} =0[/tex]
So (12,0) it is the other endpoint.
Take a look at the graph below:
