Answer :

We are given that the end-point of a line segment is (3, 2) and the middle point is (6, -2).

The formula for the middle point of a line segment is given by:

[tex](h,k)=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]

Where "h" and "k" are the middle points of the segment.

Now, we can set each of the coordinates equal. For the x-coordinates we have:

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

Where:

[tex]x_1,x_2=\text{ coordinates of the end-points}[/tex]

Now, we solve for the second end-point.

First, we multiply both sides by 2:

[tex]2h=x_1+x_2[/tex]

Now, we subtract x1 from both sides:

[tex]2h-x_1=x_2[/tex]

Now, we substitute both sides:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2(6)-3=x_2 \\ 12-3=x_2 \\ 9=x_2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, we solve for the y-coordinate:

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

Now, we multiply both sides by 2 and subtract the first coordinate to both sides:

[tex]2k-y_1=y_2[/tex]

Now, we plug in the values:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2(-2)-2=y_2 \\ -4-2=y_2 \\ -6=y_2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the coordinates of the other end-point is:

[tex](x_2,y_2)=(9,-6)[/tex]
