Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with end coordinates of: ( − 3 , − 1 ) and ( − 4 , 2 )

Answer 1

The midpoint is (-3.5,.5)

Explanation:

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

(-3+-4)/2 = -7/2 = -3.5

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

(-1+2)/2 = 1/2 = .5

The midpoint is (-3.5,.5)
