Question

2. JI. has coordinates J(-6, 1) and Z(-4, 3). Find the coordinates of the midpoint.​

Answer 1

Answer:

(- 5, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

( $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}$, $\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2}$ )

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, 3) thus

midpoint = $\frac{-6-4}{2}$, $\frac{1+3}{2}$ ) = ( $\frac{-10}{2}$, $\frac{4}{2}$ ) = (- 5, 2 )
