Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with the given endpoints: (-1, -6) and (-6, 5).

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, we will find the midpoint for the x - coordinate first.

Midpoint (x) =
`(-1+(-6))/(2) \\=(-1-6)/(2) \\=(-7)/(2) \\=-3.5`

Now we will find the midpoint for the y - coordinate.

Midpoint (y) =
`(-6+5)/(2) \\=(-1)/(2) \\=-0.5`

Therefore from these 2 values we know that the midpoint of this 2 points is (-3.5,-0.5)
