Question 15 • S1S-OC: Pre-Calculus A (E3700 - AG)

A segment in the complex plane has a midpoint at 7 – 2i. If the segment has an endpoint at 11 – 3i, what is the other endpoint?

Answer
A
–10 –2i
B
3 – i
C
9 – 2.5i
D
18 – 4i

Explanation

The midpoint is the average of the two endpoints, so the other endpoint is twice the midpoint minus the known endpoint. Calculate 2(7 − 2i) − (11 − 3i) = 14 − 4i − 11 + 3i = 3 − i. Therefore, the other endpoint is 3 − i, choice B.
