Question

6. What is the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints (7,-4) and (-3, -2)? are

Answer 1

Answer: (2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the the answer, you will need to use the midpoint formula, which is as following:

(x₁+x₂/2, y₁+y₂/2)

Since we have two coordinates, let's substitute them into the equation.

(7 + (-3 )/ 2, (-4) + (-2)/2)

We should first add 7 and -3 together, as well as -4 and -2.

(4/2, -6/2)

We then divide 4 and -6 by 2. This would give us our midpoint coordinate.

(2, -3)
