Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints.
(8,-3) and (2,-10)

Answer 1

The midpoint is ( 5,-6.5)

Explanation:

Add the x coordinates and divide by 2 to find the x coordinate of the midpoint

( 8+2)/2 = 10/2 =5

Add the y coordinates and divide by 2 to find the y coordinate of the midpoint

( -3+-10)/2 = -13/2 =--6.5

The midpoint is ( 5,-6.5)
