The midpoint of fg is point h at (–5, 2). one endpoint is g(–9, –6). what is the y-coordinate of the other endpoint?

ANSWER

The y coordinate of the other endpoint is 10

EXPLANATION

It was given that, the midpoint of HG is H(-5,2).

One of the endpoints is G(-9,-6).

The midpoint formula is given by,



We substitute the given endpoint and the midpoint to obtain,





Since we are are interested in the y coordinate of the other endpoint, we solve the following equation;



This implies that,









The y coordinate of the other endpoint is 10
