Question

The endpoints of segment GH are G(-3,0) and H(11,- 4). What is the midpoint of segment
GH?

Answer 1

The answer is ( 4 , - 2)

Explanation:

The midpoint M of a line segment can be found by using the formula

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

where

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

From the question the points are

G(-3,0) and H(11,- 4)

Their midpoint is

`M = ( ( - 3 + 11)/(2) , (0 - 4)/(2) ) \\ = ( (8)/(2) , - (4)/(2) )`

We have the final answer as

( 4 , - 2)

Hope this helps you
