Question

What is the midpoint of the line with endpoints (3,-2) and (-3,6)

Answer 1

(0, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment is given by

[(x2 + x1)/2 , (y2 + y1)/2]

Let P1 = (3, -2) and P2 = (-3, 6)

x-coordinate:

(1/2)(x2 + x1) = (1/2)[(-3) + 3] = 0

y-coordinate:

(1/2)(y2 + y1) = (1/2)[6 + (-2)] = 2

Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint whose endpoints are (3, -2) and (-3, 6) are

(0, 2)
