Question

Find the midpoints of the segment with endpoints (-3,-6) and (-6,8).

Answer 1

Midpoint formula:
`((x1 + x2)/(2), (y1+ y2)/(2))`

Substitute (-3, -6) for (x1, y1) and (-6, 8) for (x2, y2)

Midpoints of the segment with endpoints (-3,-6) and (-6,8):

`((-3 - 6)/(2),  (-6 + 8)/(2))` =
`(-(9)/(2), (2)/(2))` =
`(-(9)/(2), 1)`

Midpoints =
`(-(9)/(2), 1)`
