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).

A ray has only one endpoint?
Yes, a ray has only one endpoint.
Has on endpoint and continues infinitely in one direction?
A ray has one endpoint and continues in the other direction infinitely.
What is part of a line consisting of one endpoint and all ints of the line on one side of the endpoint?
It is a ray.
What methods could you use to calculate the x-coordinate of the midpoint of a horizontal segment?
To calculate the x-coordinate of the midpoint of a horizontal segment, you simply take the sum of x-coordinate of the endpoints of the horizontal segment and divide this by two. An example is if one is given endpoints with th x and y coordinates 2,3 and 5,6. To find the midpoint of the x-coordinates add 2 and 5 and divide this by 2, or 7/2.
What direction has one endpoint and goes on forever?
Honestly a ray does because a ray has one endpoint and it does go in one direction like forever
How do you find the other midpoint when given the endpoint and one midpoint?
i have found the answer dont worry.
How do you find the center or midpoint of a circle given one endpoint of the diameter?
to be honest I dont know
How do you find an endpoint if you are given the other endpoint and the midpoint?
You practically just use the midpoint formula. M(x,y)= (x1 + x2, y1 + y2)---------- --------(the 2 is part of a fraction for the midpoint formula) ---> 2 2For ex.The midpoint of JK is (3,4). One endpoint is K(-3,-2).(-3 + y2 , -2 + y2).-------- ---------2 2You Multiply the midpoint coordinates to the denominators. So the midpoint coordinate 3 is multiplied to the first denominator and 4 is multiplied to the second denominator.The equations turn out to be:6=-3 + x2 AND 8= -2 + y2x2=9 y2=10so the Other endpoint's coordinates are (9,10)
How do you find one endpoint if you know the other and the midpoint?
midpoint is given by the formula (x1 +x2) /2 and (y1 +y2) /2 where (x1 ,y1 )and (x2 ,y2) are the end points of the line segment .so if one end point and mid point is given the other end point can be calculated .
The midpoint of CD is m -1 -2 one endpoint is C -9 -4 what is the other endpoint?
The other endpoint is -5,-8.
The midpoint of JK is point L at ( and ndash1 8). One endpoint is J(4 and ndash15). Which equations can be solved to determine the coordinates of the other endpoint K Check all that apply?
If endpoint J is at (4, 15) and midpoint L is at (1, 8) then endpoint K is at (-2, 1) Because (4-2)/2 = x and (15+1)/2 = y for midpoint (1, 8)
If the midpoint of xy is located at the origin and one endpoint of this segment has coordinates of -8 10 what are the coordinates of the other endpoint?
The other end point is (8,-10).
For a line segment one endpoint is -8 10 and the midpoint of - 2 6 Find the coordinates of the other endpoint x1 y1?
The midpoint is going to have an x and y value halfway between those of the two endpoints. The midpoint has an x value 6 higher than the first endpoint and a y value 4 lower. Just continue this pattern to get the other endpoint. (-2+6, 6-4)=(4, 2) The midpoint formula: [(x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2] By substituting the given values into the formula we have: (x1 + -8)/2 = -2 and (y1 + 10)/2 = 6 x1 - 8 = -4 and y1 + 10 = 12 x1 -8 + 8 = -4 + 8 and y1 + 10 - 10 = 12 - 10 x1 = 4 and y1 = 2 Thus, the other endpoint is (4, 2).
How do you find the endpoint of a line segment when one endpoint is given and a point one third of the way is given?
There are two possible answers given the information. What isn't given is if the second point is one third of the way from the known or unknown endpoint. Say the known endpoint is (xe,ye) and the point one third of the way along is (xt,yt). If the point one third of the way is closest to the known endpoint, the other endpoint would be (xe+3*(xt-xe), ye+3*(yt-ye)). This is probably the answer implied by your question. If the point is closest to the unknown endpoint the the unknown endpoint is (xe+(3/2)*(xt-xe), ye+(3/2)*(yt-ye)).
What are opposite rays?
Opposite rays are halves of a line. There is one endpoint and the two rays extend infinitely from it in opposite directions. The endpoint can actually be any point on the line, but it can be assumed to be the midpoint.
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.
Givin the coordinate of one endpoint of segment AB and its midpoint find the coordniates of the other endpoint?
If the coordinate of A is x, and that of the midpoint of AB, M, is m then the distance AM is m-x so the distance AB = 2*(m-x) So the coordinate of B is x + 2*(m-x) = 2m-x For coordinates in more than one dimension, apply the above rule separately for each dimension.
