Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints: (-10,2) and (0,-7)

Answer 1

Midpoint is equal to (5,-2.5)

Answer 2

The midpoint is (-5,-2.5)

Explanation:

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

(-10+0)/2 = -10/2 = -5

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

(2+-7)/2 = -5/2 = -2.5

The midpoint is (-5,-2.5)
