Question

The endpoints of a line segment are (4,6) and (-6,2). Point G divides the segment into two equal parts. What are the coordinates of point G? O (-8, 12) 0 (-5,2) O (-2,8) O (-1,4)​

Answer 1

(-1, 4)

Explanation:

Given the endpoints of line segments to be (4,6) and (-6,2).

Coordinate of point G is expressed as its midpoint;

M(X, Y) = {x1+x2/2, y1+y2/2}

X = 4-6/2

X = -2/2

X = -1

Y = 6+2/2

Y = 8/2

Y = 4

Hence the coordinate of point G is (-1, 4)
