Question

Find the midpoint M of the line segment joining the points P = (4, 2) and Q = (-6, -8)

Answer 1

Answer:

(- 1, - 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates of the midpoint are the average of the coordinates of the endpoints, then

midpoint = ($\frac{4-6}{2}$, $\frac{2-8}{2}$ ) = ( $\frac{-2}{2}$, $\frac{-6}{2}$ ) = (- 1, - 3 )

Answer 2

(Sum of x coordinates divided by 2,sum of y coordinates divided by 2)
(4+-6/2 , 2+-8/2)
(-2/2,-6/2)
(-1,-3) =M
