Question

Find the midpoint of a segment with the given endpoints.
D(-4,4), X(-2, 2) =

Answer 1

The answer is

( - 3 , 3)

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

D(-4,4), X(-2, 2)

The midpoint is

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

We have the final answer as

( - 3 , 3)
