Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (-4, 5) and (-6, 7)

Answer 1

Answer:

Midpoint is $(-5,6)$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are $(-4,5)$ and $(-6,7)$

Midpoint of points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $\left (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right )$

Therefore, $\left (\frac{-4+(-6)}{2},\frac{5+7}{2} \right )$$=\left (\frac{-4-6}{2},\frac{5+7}{2} \right )$

                                         $=\left (\frac{-10}{2},\frac{12}{2} \right )$

                                         $=(-5,6)$
