Question

line segment AB has endpoints A (5,-3) and -(7,-5). what are the coordinates of the midpoint of segment AB

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

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

(5+7)/2 = 12/2 =6

If that was supposed to be -7

(5-7)/2 = -2/2 =-1

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

(-3+-5)/2 = -8/2 =-4

Either (6,-4) if +7 or (-1,-4) if -7
