Question

Use the following ordered pairs

Answer 1

The ordered pair for Y is (-4,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

X(-2,3)

Z(-6,-7)

As Y is the mid-point of XZ, it will divide Xz in two equal segments. Y is the mid-point of the segment.

Let (x_Y, y_Y) be the coordinates of the mid-point

Then

$(x_Y, y_Y) = (\frac{x_1+_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Putting the values

$=(frac{-2-6}{2} , \frac{3-7}{2})\\=(\frac{-8}{2} , \frac{-4}{2})\\=(-4, -2)$

Hence,

The ordered pair for Y is (-4,-2)
