Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints. (-2,7) and (-10, -1)

Answer 1

Answer:

$(-6 ,3 )$

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint Formula: $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$

Simply plug in your 2 coordinates into the midpoint formula to find midpoint:

$(\frac{-2+-10}{2} ,\frac{7+-1}{2} )$

$(\frac{-2-10}{2} ,\frac{7-1}{2} )$

$(\frac{-12}{2} ,\frac{6}{2} )$

$(-6 ,3 )$

Answer 2

The midpoint would be (-6,3)
