Question

Determine the midpoint of segment AB when Al-7, 10) and B(13,-4).

Answer 1

(3, 3)

Explanation:

In general midpoint (x, y) of a line segment AB with A(
`x_(A) , y_(A)`) and B(
`x_(B) ,y_(B)`)

is
`((x_(A) +x_(B) )/(2) , (y_(A) +y_(B) )/(2) )`

The mid point of AB in our case where A(-7, 10) and B(13,-4).

x coordinate is at ( -7+13)/2 = 6/2 = 3

y coordinate is at (10+ -4)/2 = 6/2 = 3

Answer 2

(3, -7)

Explanation:

The midpoint of a line segment is a point that lies halfway between 2 points. The midpoint is the same distance from each endpoint.You can find the midpoint of a line segment given 2 endpoints, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). Add each x-coordinate and divide by 2 to find x of the midpoint. Add each y-coordinate and divide by 2 to find y of the midpoint.
