Question

The endpoints CD are given. Find the coordinates of the midpoint m. 24. C (-4, 7) and D(0,-3)

Answer 1

To find the coordinates of the midpoint

We will use the formula;

`(x_m,y_m)=((x_1+x_2)/(2),\text{ }(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

x₁ = -4 y₁=7 x₂ = 0 y₂=-3

substituting into the formula

Xm = x₁+x₂ /2

=-4+0 /2

=-2

Ym= y₁+ y₂ /2

=7-3 /2

=4/2

=2

The coordinates of the midpoint m are (-2, 2)
