Question

Enter the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are (6,5) and (-8, 12).

Answer 1

the segment is defined by the coordinates (6,5) and (-8,12) so the midpoint will be:

`\begin{gathered} x=(6+(-8))/(2)=-(2)/(2)=-1 \\ y=(5+12)/(2)=(17)/(2)=8.5 \end{gathered}`

So the midpoint is (-1,8.5)
