how do you solve for endpinnts???
My teacher dosn't explain it good and I doon't get it.
Help Please!
It depends on what you are given.
what do u need help on
To solve for endpoints, you need to have some context or information. Endpoints usually refer to the two boundary points of a line segment on a coordinate plane. To find the endpoint coordinates, you typically need either the coordinates of one endpoint and the length of the line segment or both endpoints.
Here are a couple of scenarios and the steps to solve for endpoints:
1. Given one endpoint and the length of the line segment:
a. Let's say you have an endpoint with coordinates (x1, y1) and you know the length of the line segment is 'd'.
b. You can consider the other endpoint with coordinates (x2, y2).
c. To find the coordinates of the other endpoint, you can use the distance formula:
Distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
d. Substitute the known values: d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2).
e. Solve the equation for x2 and y2 to find the coordinates of the other endpoint.
2. Given both endpoints:
a. If you know the coordinates of both endpoints, let's say (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), you already have the endpoint coordinates.
Remember to use the appropriate formulas and solve the equations step by step. Sometimes, knowing the length or other properties of the line segment can help you determine the endpoint coordinates.
