Question

Find the coordinates for the midpoint of the segment with endpoints given.

(12, 4) and (-8, 8)
O (2,6)
O (10,6)
O (2, 2)

Answer 1

(2, 6)

Explanation:

(
`x_(1)` ,
`y_(1)` )

(
`x_(2)` ,
`y_(2)` )

Coordinates of midpoint are

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

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(12, 4)

(- 8, 8)

(
`(-8+12)/(2)` ,
`(8+4)/(2)` ) = (2, 6)
