Question

Find the midpoint
(1,-8) (-7,0)

Answer 1

(-3, -4)

Explanation:

Handy fact: the average of two numbers is exactly halfway between them.

To find the midpoint, average the x-coordinates; average the y-coordinates.

(1 + -7)/2 = -6/2 = -3

(-8 + 0)/2 = -8/2 = -4

The midpoint is (-3, -4).
