Question

Find the midpoint between the pair of points.
(-4, 10) and (14, 0)

Answer 1

(5, 5 )

Explanation:

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

(
`(x_(1)+x_(2) )/(2)` ,
`(y_(1)+y_(2) )/(2)` )

here (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 10 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (14, 0 ) , then

midpoint = (
`(-4+14)/(2)` ,
`(10+0)/(2)` ) = (
`(10)/(2)` ,
`(10)/(2)` ) = ( 5, 5 )

Answer 2

( 5 , 5 )

Explanation:

→ Add 2 the x coordinates together

- 4 + 14 = 10

→ Divide answer by 2

10 ÷ 2 = 5

→ Add the 2 y coordinates together

10 + 0 = 10

→ Divide answer by 2

10 ÷ 2 = 5
