Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with the given endpoints.6) (-7, -10), (-2, -3)(separate questions)7) (-4,-3), (8, 2)

Answer 1

Given:

The endpoints are

6) (-7, -10), (-2, -3)

7) (-4,-3), (8, 2)

Required:

We need to find the midpoint of the given endpoints.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the midpoint formula.

`M=((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

6)

Consider the points (-7, -10), and (-2, -3).

`Substitutte\text{ }x_1=-7,x_2=-2,y_1=-10,\text{ and }y_2=-3\text{ in the formula.}`
`M=((-7+(-2))/(2),(-10+(-3))/(2))`
`M=((-7-2)/(2),(-10-3)/(2))`
`M=((-9)/(2),(-13)/(2))`
`M=(-4.5,-6.5)`

7)

Consider the points (-4,-3), and (8, 2).

`Substitutte\text{ }x_1=-4,x_2=8,y_1=-3,\text{ and }y_2=2\text{ in the formula.}`
`M=((-4+8)/(2),(-3+2)/(2))`
`M=((-4+8)/(2),(-3+2)/(2))`
