Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints.
(-10.8) and (2.2)

Answer 1

(-4 , 5)

Explanation:

(x₁ , y₁) = (-10 , 8) & (x₂ , y₂) = (2 , 2)

`Midpoint = ((x_(1)+x_(2))/(2),(y_(1)+y_(2))/(2))\\\\`

`=((-10+2)/(2),(8+2)/(2))\\\\=((-8)/(2),(10)/(2))\\\\=(-4 , 5)`

Answer 2

(-4,5)

Explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinate of the endpoints and divide by 2

(-10 +2)/2 = -8/2 = -4

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinate of the endpoints and divide by 2

(8 +2)/2 = 10/2 = 5

(-4,5)
