Answer 2

Answer: f the line segment with endpoints (1, –6) and (–3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the coordinates of mid point (x,y) between any two points (a,b) and (c,d) on a line segment is given by :-

$x=\dfrac{a+c}{2}\\\\ y=\dfrac{b+d}{2}$

Similarly , the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (1, –6) and (–3, 4) will be

$x=\dfrac{-3+1}{2}=\dfrac{-2}{2}=-1\\\\y=\dfrac{-6+4}{2}=\dfrac{-2}{2}=-1$

Hence, the midpoint f the line segment with endpoints (1, –6) and (–3, 4) is (-1,-1).
