Question

What is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints at (-6, 3) and (-10, 7)?

Answer 1

The answer is A (-8,5)

Answer 2

Answer:

A(-8,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points (-6, 3), and (-10, 7). The midpoint is calculated by averaging the x, and y values of two coordinates. As (-10, 7) is the the first point (x1, y1), and (-6, 3) is the second point (x2, y2).

$midpoint \: of \: (x_{1},y_{1}), \: and \: (x_{2},y_{2}) \\ = (\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})$

$midpoint \: of \: (-6,3), \: and \: (-10,7) = (\frac{-10 + -6}{2}, \frac{7 + 3}{2}) \: = (\frac{-16}{2}, \frac{10}{2}) \: = (-8,5)$
