Question

What is the midpoint of a segment whose endpoints are (−3, −3) and (−13, −13)? A. (8, 8) B. (5, 5) C. (−5, −5) D. (−8, −8)

Answer 1

So remember that the midpoint formula is
`((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

In this case, our equation will be
`((-3+(-13))/(2),(-3+(-13))/(2) )`

Firstly, add everything on the numerators:
`((-16)/(2),(-16)/(2) )`

Next, divide and your answer is going to be (-8,-8), or D.
