Finding Missing Endpoints in Geometry

The video tutorial explains how to find the other endpoint of a line segment when given one endpoint and the midpoint. The process involves reversing previous calculations, determining distances, and applying these to find the missing endpoint coordinates. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to ensure understanding of the concept.

What is the main goal when given one endpoint and the midpoint of a segment?

• To find the midpoint again

• To find the other endpoint

• To find the slope of the segment

• To find the length of the segment

What is the first step in reversing the order of operations to find the missing endpoint?

• Double the distance between the given endpoint and the midpoint

• Find the midpoint again

• Place the midpoint's coordinates under the given endpoint's coordinates

• Calculate the slope of the segment

How do you determine the distance needed to find the other endpoint?

• By adding the coordinates of the given endpoint and the midpoint

• By subtracting the coordinates of the midpoint from the given endpoint

• By doubling the distance between the given endpoint and the midpoint

• By halving the distance between the given endpoint and the midpoint

What is the distance from -3 to 5?

• 5

• 10

• 8

• 7

How do you find the y-coordinate of the missing endpoint?

• By halving the y-coordinate of the given endpoint

• By doubling the y-coordinate of the midpoint

• By subtracting the y-coordinate of the midpoint from the given endpoint

• By adding the distance to the y-coordinate of the midpoint

What is the result of adding 8 to the y-coordinate 5?

• 12

• 15

• 10

• 13

What is the distance from -5 to -4?

• 4

• 3

• 2

• 1

How do you find the x-coordinate of the missing endpoint?

• By doubling the x-coordinate of the midpoint

• By subtracting the x-coordinate of the midpoint from the given endpoint

• By adding the distance to the x-coordinate of the midpoint

• By halving the x-coordinate of the given endpoint

What is the final x-coordinate of the missing endpoint?

• -2

• -4

• -5

• -3

What is the final y-coordinate of the missing endpoint?

• 10

• 11

• 12

• 13
