Question

(10,16) and (-28, -16)

What is the midpoint of a segment
with the endpoints shown to the
left?
(-18, 0)
(-9, 2)
(19,16)
(-9,0)


Answer 1

(-9, 0)

Explanation:

To find the midpoint of the segment, we use the mathematical formula below;

(x,y) = {(x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2}

From the question;

(x1,y1) = (10,16)

(x2,y2) = (-28,-16)

Substituting these values into the equation we wrote above, we have;

(x,y) = (10-28)/2 , (16-16)/2

(x,y) = (-18/2, 0/2) = (-9,0)
