Question

What is the midpoint of the line segment connecting the points (-4, 5) and (4,7)?

Answer 1

(0,6)

Explanation:

Answer 2

(0,6)

Explanation:

We need to find the midpoint of the line segment having end points (-4,5) and (4,7). So, here we can use the Midpoint Formula :-

Points :- (-4,5) and (4,7).

Using Midpoint Formula ,

`\rm\implies Midpoint =\bigg((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)\bigg)`

Substitute the respective values ,

`\rm\implies Midpoint =\bigg((-4+4)/(2),(7+5)/(2)\bigg)`

Simplify the numbers ,

`\rm\implies Midpoint =\bigg((0)/(2),(12)/(2)\bigg)`

This equals to ,

`\rm\implies \boxed{\blue{\rm Midpoint =\bigg( 0,6\bigg)}}`

Hence the midpoint is (0,6) .
