Find the coordinates of the other endpoint of the segment, given its midpoint M and one endpoint Q.
M(c, n), Q(h, s)
The second endpoint is P

P(2c - h, 2n - s )

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on the coordinate plane

then midpoint is given by (x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2

in the problem midpoint is m(c,n)

one point is Q(h,s)

let other point be P(x,y)

By using midpoint formula given above

for point P(x,y) and Q(h,s)

midpoint = (x+h)/2, (y+s)/2

also midpoint is m(c,n)

comparing m(c,n) with (x+h)/2, (y+s)/2

c = x+h/2

=> 2c = x+h

=> 2c - h = x

n = (y+s)/2

=> 2n = y+s

=> 2n - s = y

Thus, second endpoint is P(x,y) = P(2c - h, 2n - s )
