What is the endpoint formula for a line segment if you have one endpoint and a midpoint?

Suppose one end point is A and the midpoint is M.
Then the distance from the given end to the midpoint is M-A.
So the other end point is M-A further away from M ie it is at M + (M-A) = 2M-A.
The above answer looks like it is for 1 dimensional problems only but for two or more dimensions, either treat A and M as vectors or (if you are not familiar with vectors), apply the same rule to the x-coordinate, then separately, to the y-coordinate, etc.
So, in 2 dimensions,
if A = (ax, ay) and M = (mx, my)
then the other end point is (2mx- ax , 2my- ay)
and similarly for more dimensions.

What is an endpoint in geometry?
A line segment has endpoints and a midpoint.
The midpoint of a line segment is the point halfway between its endpoint?
Yes
What does the midpoint formula give you the midpoint of?
it gives you the midpoint of the line segment you use the formula for
How do you find the midpoint of a segment with the endpoints -4 -14 -229?
There are only three endpoint given and these are not sufficient to define a segment of a line.
How do you find the midpoint of a line segment if you know the endpoint?
At the end of the line there needs to be two points. Measure the line and divide by two.
What is an endpoint in geometry?
A line segment has endpoints and a midpoint.
How do you find an endpoint if you are given one endpoint and the midpoint?
If you are only given one endpoint and a midpoint, you know what the middle of the line segment is. Since the midpoint is half of what the line segment's length is, all you have to do is find the distance between the endpoint given and the midpoint, then add that coordinate to your midpoint and get your other endpoint. For example: Endpoint A: (4,5) Midpoint: (6,8) Distance between: (2,3) Add (2,3) to (6,8) and get Endpoint B: (8,11).
What is the other endpoint of the line segment with the given endpoint and midpoint. Endpoint (6-9) midpoint (76)?
If you mean endpoint (6, 9) and midpoint (7, 6) then the other endpoint is (8, 3)
The midpoint of a line segment is the point halfway between its endpoint?
Yes
What does the midpoint formula give you the midpoint of?
it gives you the midpoint of the line segment you use the formula for
A line segment has an endpoint at (3, 2). If the midpoint of the line segment is (6, -2), what are the coordinates of the point at the other end of the line segment?
(9,4)
Does a line segment have two midpoints?
No. The midpoint of a line segment is the single point exactly halfway between each endpoint.
What is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoint (1-6) and (-34)?
Endpoints: (-2,-2) and (4, 6) Midpoint: (1, 2)
What is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoint (-5.5-6.1)and(-0.59.1)?
If you mean endpoints of (-5.5, -6.1) and (-0.5, 9.1) Then the midpoint is at: (-3, 1.5)
How do you find the midpoint of a segment with the endpoints -4 -14 -229?
There are only three endpoint given and these are not sufficient to define a segment of a line.
How do you find the midpoint of a line segment if you know the endpoint?
At the end of the line there needs to be two points. Measure the line and divide by two.
How do you draw a median in geometry?
a median is a line or segment with one endpoint as the midpoint, and the other end at the vertex. so start at a vertex and draw a straight line to the midpoint of the opposite side.
