Assuming one of the endpoints is (2,-6) , let the other endpoint be (x,y)
for the x value:
(x + 2)/2 = 5
x+2 = 10
x = 8
for the y:
(y - 6)/2 = -1
y - 6 = -2
y = 4
the other end point is (8,4)
for the x value:
(x + 2)/2 = 5
x+2 = 10
x = 8
for the y:
(y - 6)/2 = -1
y - 6 = -2
y = 4
the other end point is (8,4)
