Question

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining the point A (4,-2) and B (10,-6)?

Answer 1

Answer: (7, -4)

Step-by-step explanation: To find the midpoint of a line segment, We take the average of the X-coordinates and the Y-coordinates of the two endpoints.

Given points A(4,-2) and B(10,-6), the midpoint can be found using the following steps.

1. Take the average of the X-coordinates: (4+10)/2=7.

2 Take the average of the Y-coordinates: (-2 + -6)/2=-4.

So the midpoint of the line segment joining A and B is (7,-4).
