Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints.
(-9,-8) and (-1,2)

Answer 1

The midpoint is (-5, -3).

Explanation:

Finding the coordinates of the midpoint consists of averaging the x-coordinates of the given points and then doing the same for the y-coordinates.

x coordinate of midpoint = (-9 - 1)/2 = -5

y coordinate = -6/2 = - 3

The midpoint is (-5, -3).

Answer 2

The midpoint would be (-5,-3)
