Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment given its endpoints P(-3,-7) and Q(3,5)

Answer 1

The coordinates of the midpoint of the segment given its endpoints

P(-3,-7) and Q(3,5) is the midpoint of the given segment is (0,-6).

What is a midpoint ?

The midpoint of a line segment divides the line segment into two equal parts.

According to the given question

Co-ordinate of two endpoints are given and we have to find the co-ordinate of the midpoints.

Assuming co-ordinates of the midpoint is (x,y)

We know the midpoint formula is given by

x = (x₁ + x₂)/2 and y = (y₁ + y₂)/2

∴ x = (-3 + 3)/2

 x = 0/2

 x = 0.

And

y = (-7 -5)/2

y = -12/2

y = -6

So the midpoints of the co-ordinates are (0,-6).
