1) Midpoint Formula
The midpoint M (x, y) of a line segment with endpoints (x1 , y1 ) and (x2 , y2 ) is
given by:

2 , 2
(b) L(−1, 0) and M (1, −6)
0+(−6)

3) Center of a Circle
The center of a circle with diameter endpoints A(−5, −3) and B(3, 7) is found
using the midpoint formula:

Solving for x and y:
−5+x
2 =0⇒x=5 2+y
2 = 0 ⇒ y = −2
So the other endpoint is (5, -2).
