Question

A segment has endpoints (14,-8) and (4, 12). What are the coordinates of
its midpoint?

Answer 1

Answer:

(9, 2)

Explanation:

Answer 2

(9,2)

Explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, average the x coordinates of the endpoints

(14+4)/2 = 18/2 = 9

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, average the y coordinates of the endpoints

(-8+12)/2 = 4/2 = 2
