The midpoint of segment QR is M(-2, 9). One end point of segment QR is Q(-8, 12). Find the coordinates of the other endpoint, R.

Here,

The midpoint of segment QR is M

m(-2,9) x3=-2,y3=9

Q=(-8,12)x1=-8,y1=12

R=x2,y2

we know that,

[tex]\tt{ m=\dfrac{Q+R}{2} }[/tex] ⠀

So,

x3=[tex]\tt{\dfrac{x1+x2}{2} }[/tex] ⠀

[tex]\tt{-2=\dfrac{-8+x2}{2} }[/tex] ⠀

[tex]\tt{-2×2=-8+x2 }[/tex] ⠀

[tex]\tt{x2=8-4 }[/tex] ⠀

[tex]\tt{x2=4 }[/tex] ⠀

x2=4

now we find the y coordinate y2.

y3=[tex]\tt{\dfrac{y1+y2}{2} }[/tex] ⠀

[tex]\tt{9=\dfrac{12+y2}{2} }[/tex] ⠀

[tex]\tt{9×2=12+y2 }[/tex] ⠀

[tex]\tt{y2=18-12 }[/tex] ⠀

[tex]\tt{y2=6 }[/tex] ⠀

y2=6

Now we get the two coordinate of R

so,

R=(x2,y2)=(4,6)
