Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints. (7,10) and (-1,- 8)

Answer 1

Answer:

(3,1) is the midpoint

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, average the x coordinates of the endpoints

(7+-1)/2 = 6/2 =3

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, average the y coordinates of the endpoints

(10+-8)/2 = 2/2 = 1

(3,1) is the midpoint

Answer 2

Answer:

(3, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula [ (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2/2) ] to solve for the midpoint.

7+(-1)/2, 10+(-8)/2

6/2, 2/2

3, 1

Best of Luck!
