Question

Find the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are (8,6) and (-2,-8).

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{ \: ( \: 3 \: , \: - 1 \: )}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\star{ \sf { \: Let \: the \: points \:be \: A \: and \: B}}$

$\star{ \sf{ \: Let \: \: A (8,6) \: be \: (x1 \:, y1) and \: B(-2,-8) \: be \: (x2 \:, y2)}}$

$\underline{ \sf{Finding \: the \: midpoint}}$

$\boxed{ \rm{Midpoint \: = \: ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} \: , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{8 + ( - 2)}{2} \: , \: \frac{6 + ( - 8)}{2} )}}$

$\mapsto { \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{8 - 2}{2} \: , \: \frac{6 - 8}{2} }})$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{6}{2} \: , \: \frac{ - 2}{2}) }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = (3 \: \: , - 1)}}$
