1. PB is a line segment on a number line. It has endpoints at -2 and 12. What is the coordinate of its midpoint?
                              __
2. The midpoint of CD is E(-1,0). one endpoint is C(5,2). What are the coordinates of the other endpoint?

Respuesta :

1. Midpoint = (-2+12)/2 = 10/2 = 5


2. C(5, 2)  E(-1, 0)  D=?

[tex]x_E= \frac{x_C+x_D}{2} \ \ \ \to \\\\ -1= \frac{5+x_D}{2} \ \ \ \to \ \ \ -2=5+x_D \ \ \to \ \ x_D=-2-5=-7 \\\\\\y_E= \frac{y_C+y_D}{2} \ \ \ \to \\\\ 0= \frac{2+y_D}{2} \ \ \ \to \ \ \ 0=2+y_D \ \ \to \ \ y_D=0-2=-2[/tex]

Answer: D(-7, -2)
