Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below?

Answer 1

Answer:

(4,3)-C

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a horizontal line so...

you need to keep the same y-values and find the average of the x-values

$\frac{-2+10}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4$

this means that the x-coordinate is 4

and the y-coordinate is 3

(4,3)

have a good day

Answer 2

Answer:

(4,3)

Let the points be A and B

A(-2,3)---->(X1,y1)

B(10,3)---->(x2,y2)

Now,

$midpoint = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} \: , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} ) \\ = ( \frac{ - 2 + 10}{2} \:, \frac{3 + 3}{2} ) \\ = ( \frac{8}{2} ,\frac{6}{2} ) \\ = (4 ,\: 3)$

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..
