Answer:

Coordinates of the other endpoint: (14, 6)

Explanation:

Using the midpoint formula to determine the coordinates of the other endpoint:

The midpoint formula is given by:

M = (x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2, where

  • M are the coordinates of the midpoint,
  • (x1, y1) are one endpoint,
  • and (x2, y2) is the other endpoint.

We can find the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the other endpoint by plugging in (5, 5) for M and (-4, 4) for (x1, y1) in the midpoint formula:

x-coordinate of the other endpoint:

(5 = (-4 + x2) / 2) * 2

(10 = -4 + x2) + 4

14 = x2

Thus, the x-coordinate of the other endpoint is 14.

y-coordinate of the other endpoint:

(5 = (4 + y2) / 2) * 2

(10 = 4 + y2) - 4

6 = y2

Thus, the y-coordinate of the other endpoint is 6.

Determining the coordinates of the other endpoint:

Therefore, the coordinates of the other endpoint are (14, 6).
