Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with end coordinates of:

Answer 1

Answer:

The midpoint of this line segment is (-1.5, -4.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

In finding the midpoint of a line segment we are actually averaging the x- and y-coordinates of the endpoints:

                                             -2 -1

x-coordinate of midpoint = --------- = -3/2 = -1.5

                                                 2

                                              -4 -5

y-coordinate of midpoint = ---------- = -4.5

                                                   2

The midpoint of this line segment is (-1.5, -4.5).
