Question

Find the coordinate for the mid point of the segment with the points given (-16,0)(0,-16)

Answer 1

Answer:

(-8,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of a midpoint:

The coordinates of the midpoint of a segment is given by the mean of the coordinates of the endpoints.

In this question:

Endpoints (-16,0) and (0,-16).

x-coordinate:

$\frac{-16+0}{2} = -8$

y-coordinate:

$\frac{0-16}{2} = -8$

Then:

(-8,-8)
