Other midpoint is $(4, -3)$

The midpoint is found from averaging the x-values of the endpoints and averaging the y-values.

Write down what has been done to find the Midpoint if one endpoint is (-2, 3) and the other endpoint is $(x_1, y_1)$

$(-2+x_1)/2 = 1 " and "(3+ y_1)/2 = 0$

Solve each equation to find $(x_1, y_1)$

$-2 + x_1 = 2 " " 3+ y_1 = 0$

$" "x_1 = 4" " y_1 = -3$

Other midpoint is $(4, -3)$
