Question

A segment had a coordinates (-4, 9) and (0, 7). What is the midpoint of the segment

Answer 1

The x-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates of the endpoints. The y-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the y-coordinates of the endpoints.

x-coordinate of midpoint: (-4 + 0)/2 = -4/2 = -2

y-coordinate of midpoint: (9 + 7)/2 = 16/2 = 8

Answer: The midpoint is (-2, 8).
