Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below

Answer 1

Answer:

C )  $(\frac{-9}{2},\frac{-11}{2} )$

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint : -

The midpoint formula is

$(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2 } ,\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2})$.....(a)

The given points are

A(-12,-3) and B(3,-8)

substitute these points we get

$(\frac{-12+3}{2},\frac{-3-8}{2})$

The midpoint of the segment is

$(\frac{-9}{2},\frac{-11}{2} )$
