Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints.

(
−
10
,
−
7
)
and
(
−
3
,
−
10
)
(−10,−7) and (−3,−10)

Answer 1

M = (-13/2, -17/2)

Explanation:

The midpoint of two points is half-way between the x-values and the y-values.

The formula is

M = ((x₁ +x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)

For the points (−10,−7) and (−3,−10),

M = ((-3 + (-10))/2), (-10 + (-7))/2))

M = ((-3 - 10)/2), (-10 - 7)/2))

M = (-13/2, -17/2)

The graph below shows your two points at (−10,−7) and (−3,−10) and the mid-point at (-13/2, -17/2).
