Question

What is the midpoint of a line that has endpoints at (-14, -8) and (4, 2)

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{ the midpoint between two points }(x_1,y_1),\text{ and }(x_2,y_2)\text{ is } \\ \\ M=((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)) \\ \\ M=((-14+4)/(2),(-8+2)/(2)) \\ \\ M=((-10)/(2),(-6)/(2)) \\ \\ M=(-5,-3) \\ \\ \text{ thus the midpoint is (-5,-3)} \end{gathered}`
