Question

The endpoints of line GH are G(0,4) and H(-6,2). find the coordinates of the midpoint M

Answer 1

Answer: The point G is G(18,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint:

Write the formula for midpoint of the A(x_1,y_1) and B(x_2,y_2).

[(x_1+x_2)/2,(y_1+y_2)/2]

G(x,y), H(-2,9)

(8,0) =[(x+(-2))/2,(y+9)/2]

(x+(-2))/2 =8

(x+(-2))=16

x-2 =16

x =18

(y+9)/2=0

y+9=0

y=-9

The point G is G(18,-9)
