Just remember that the x and y distances from any endpoint to the midpoint, must be the same distance from the midpoint to the second endpoint.
Explanation:
The x-distance from the endpoint to the midpoint
The y-distance from the endpoint to the midpoint
Next, add these same distances to the midpoint coordinate to find the other endpoint:
Second endpoint
