1. Midpoint formula: $$M=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$$
A. Find the midpoint:
1. For P(-1,-6) and R(-6,5):
$$M=\left(\frac{-1-6}{2},\frac{-6+5}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{-7}{2},\frac{-1}{2}\right)=\left(-3.5,-0.5\right)$$
2. For W(-1.2,1.0) and A(5.2,-5.3):
$$M=\left(\frac{-1.2+5.2}{2},\frac{1.0-5.3}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{4.0}{2},\frac{-4.3}{2}\right)=\left(2.0,-2.15\right)$$
3. For C(2,-1) and T(-6,0):
$$M=\left(\frac{2-6}{2},\frac{-1+0}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{-4}{2},\frac{-1}{2}\right)=\left(-2,-0.5\right)$$
B. Find the other endpoint using midpoint formula rearranged:
$$x_2=2x_m - x_1,\quad y_2=2y_m - y_1$$
1. Endpoint (2,5), Midpoint (5,1):
$$x_2=2(5)-2=10-2=8$$
$$y_2=2(1)-5=2-5=-3$$
Other endpoint: (8,-3)
2. Endpoint (-1,9), Midpoint (-9,-10):
$$x_2=2(-9)-(-1)=-18+1=-17$$
$$y_2=2(-10)-9=-20-9=-29$$
Other endpoint: (-17,-29)
