Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints.
(10,5) and (-2, -10)

Answer 1

The answer is

`(4, - ( 5)/(2) )`

Explanation:

The midpoint M of two given points is given by

`M = ( (x1 + x2)/(2) , \: (y1 + y2)/(2) )`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(10,5) and (-2, -10)

The midpoint of points is

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

We have the final answer as

`M = (4, - ( 5)/(2) )`
