Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment with the given endpoints. W(–12, –7), T(–8, –4) a (–2, –5.5) b (–10, –5.5) c (–2, –1.5) d (–9.5, –6)

Answer 1

Explanation:

(-12 + (-8))/2 = -20/2 = -10

(-7 + (-4))/2 = -11/2 = -5.5

(-10, -5.5)

answer is B

Answer 2

The midpoint is ( -10,-5.5)

Explanation:

To find the midpoint add the coordinates and divide by 2

x: ( -12+-8)/2 = -20/2 = -10

y: ( -7+-4)/2 = -11/2 = -5.5

The midpoint is ( -10,-5.5)
