Question

What is the midpoint of a segment with endpoints at(-4,-8) and (8, 10)?

Answer 1

The answer is

( 2 , 1)

Explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints 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

(-4,-8) and (8, 10)

The midpoint is

`M = ( ( - 4 + 8)/(2) , \: ( - 8 + 10)/(2) ) \\ = ( (4)/(2) , (2)/(2) )`

We have the final answer as

( 2 , 1)

Hope this helps you
