  1. The required other endpoint coordinates of line segment with one endpoint as (0,2) and a midpoint as (8,-9) is (16,-20).
    Let there be line segment AB with mid- point M . We have been given the coordinates of one endpoint and midpoint which are,  
                                        A(0,2)    and  M(8,-9)
    We have to find the coordinates of B of the line segment.
    We know the formula of midpoint which is given as ,
                                 (xm , ym) = [(x1 + x2)/2  , (y1 + y2)/2]       (1)
    Where  (xm , ym) are the coordinates of the mid point which are (8,-9) and
                  (x1 , y1) = (0,2) are the coordinates of endpoint 1.
    Thus we have to find (x2 , y2) coordinates. Putting the required value in equation (1) we get
                            (8 , -9) = [(0 + x2)/2  , (2 + y2)/2]
    Therefore,    8 = x2/2                        -9 = (2+y2)/2
                         x2 = 16                           y2 = -20
    Hence the required coordinates of the other endpoint is B(16,-20)
