Question

Point A is located at (−2, −6), and D is located at (−6, 8). Find the coordinates of the point that lies halfway between A and D.

(0, 2)


(−2, 3)


(−3, 0)


(−4, 1)

Answer 1

(-4, 1)

Explanation:

The midpoint (M) has coordinates that are the average of those of endpoints A and D.

... M = (A +D)/2 = ((-2, -6) +(-6, 8))/2

... M = (-8, 2)/2 = (-4, 1)
