To find the coordinates of the other endpoint, we need to use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula is given by:
Midpoint = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)
Given that the midpoint of CD is E(-1, 0) and one endpoint is C(5, 2), let's denote the coordinates of the other endpoint as D(x, y).
Using the midpoint formula, we can set up the following equations:
-1 = (5 + x)/2
0 = (2 + y)/2
Solving for x and y:
-2 = 5 + x
x = -7
0 = 2 + y
y = -2
Therefore, the coordinates of the other endpoint D are (-7, -2).
the midpoint of CD is E (-1 0) one endpoint is C (5 2) what are the coordenates of the other endpoint
