Question

What is the midpoint to the segment below?

Answer 1

Step-by-step Answer:

The coordinates of the mid-point of a segment whose end-points are known is the average of the coordinates of the end-points.

Here, the end-points are: (-11,0), (9,-1)

So the x-coordinate of the mid-point is (-11+9)/2 = (-2/2) = -1, and

the y-coordinate of the mid-point is (0-1)/2 = -0.5

So the mid-point is (-1,-0.5)
