Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints.

Answer 1

The coordinates of the midpoint of AB is (4.5, -1.5)

We can find this by taking the average of each coordinate. The average of the x's (2 and 7) is 4.5, while the average of the y's (-4 and 1) is -1.5.

The coordinates of the midpoint of CD is (-5.5, 1)

We can find this by taking the average of the coordinates as we did in the first one. The average of the x's (-3 and -8) is -5.5, while the average of the y's (-2 and 4) is 1.
