Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment.
MN with endpoints M (4, 10) and N(-2,-6)

Answer 1

The answer is

( 1 , 2)

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

M (4, 10) and N(-2,-6)

The midpoint is

`M = ( (4 - 2)/(2) , \: (10 - 6)/(2) ) \\ = ( (2)/(2) \: , \: (4)/(2) )`

We have the final answer as

( 1 , 2)
