What is the midpoint of the segment with two endpoints (4,-6) and (-2,-3)? Put your answers in decimal from, if applicable.
Ber [7]
Answer: 1,-4.5

Explanation: you can find this by finding the difference in y and the difference in x. The difference in x is -6, and the difference in y is +3. All you have to do after that is divide that by 2: -3,1.5, than add that to the first coordinate. That should be the midpoint.
