you use the midpoint formula to find the midpoint, but since you already know the midpoint, and one of the endpoints, plug in what you know in to the formula, and solve for the other endpoint.

let the other endpoint be (a,b)

then (a-3)/2 = 1 and (b-1)/2 = 1
a = 5 and b = 3

test it by finding the midpoint between (5,3) and (-3,-1)
