find the coordinates of the missing endpoint if E is the midpoint of df. f=(5,8) E=(4,3)

Respuesta :

Coordinates of the midpoint [tex](h,k)[/tex] of a segment with endpoints [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is given by,

[tex]h=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]k=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}[/tex]

If the coordinates of the endpoints D, F and midpoint E are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex], [tex](5,8)[/tex] and [tex](4,3)[/tex] respectively,

Coordinates of the endpoint D,

[tex]4=\frac{x_1+5}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x_1+5=8[/tex]

[tex]x_1=3[/tex]

[tex]3=\frac{8+y_1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y_1+8=6[/tex]

[tex]y_1=-2[/tex]

Therefore, coordinates of the endpoint D are [tex](3,-2)[/tex].

We have that  the coordinates of the missing endpoint is

d=(13,14)

From the question we are told that

  • The coordinates of the missing endpoint
  • E is the midpoint of df. f=(5,8) E=(4,3)

Generally the equation for the  df is mathematically given as

For X

[tex]\frac{(x_1-x-2)}{2}= x_m\\\\\frac{(x_1-5)}{2}= 4[/tex]

x_1-5=8

x_1=13

For Y

[tex]\frac{(y_1-y-2)}{2}= y_m\\\\\frac{(y_1-8)}{2}= 3[/tex]

y_1-8=6

y_1=14

Therefore  the coordinates of the missing endpoint

d=(13,14)
