  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    The mid point of a line segment is (6,_1) and one end point is (2,6) .

    To find:

    Find the second end point?

    Solution:

    Let the second end point of a line be (x2, y2)

    One end point = (2,6)

    Let (x1, y1)=(2,6)=>x1=2 and y2=6

    The mid point of a linesegment joining the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is denoted by M(x,y) and defined by

    [(x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2]

    =>M(x,y)=[(2+x2)/2 , (6+y2)/2]

    According to the given problem

    Mid point of the given linesegment = (6,-1)

    =>[(2+x2)/2 , (6+y2)/2] = (6,-1)

    On comparing both sides then

    =>(2+x2)/2=6 and (6+y2)/2=-1

    =>2+x2=6×2 and 6+y2=-1×2

    =>2+x2=12 and 6+y2=-2

    =>x2=12-2 and y2=-2-6

    =>x2=10 and y2=-8

    (x2, y2)=(10,-8)

    The required point =(10,-8)

    Answer:

    The second end point of the given line segment is (10,-8)

    Check:

    We have (x1, y1)=(2,6)=>x1=2 and y2=6

    (x2, y2)=(10,-8)=>x2=10 and y2=-8

    Mid Point = [(x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2]

    =>M(x,y)=[(2+10)/2 ,(6-8)/2]

    =>M(x,y)=(12/2,-2/2)

    M(x,y)=(6,-1)

    Verified the given relation.

    Used formula:

    The mid point of a linesegment joining the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is denoted by M(x,y) and defined by

    [(x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2]
