Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with end coordinates of: ( − 2 , − 4 ) and ( 2 , − 10 )

Answer 1

Answer:

(0, - 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

( $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}$ , $\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2}$ )

here (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 10 ) , then

midpoint = ( $\frac{-2+2}{2}$, $\frac{-4-10}{2}$ ) = ( $\frac{0}{2}$ , $\frac{-14}{2}$ ) = (0, - 7 )
