Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment when given the endpoints (10, -6)(-4, -9)

Answer 1

(3, -7.5)

Explanation:

Use the midpoint formula: (x1 + x2) / 2 , (y1 + y2) / 2

Plug in the points:

(10 - 4) / 2 , (-6 - 9) / 2

6/2 , -15/2

3, -7.5

So, the midpoint will be at (3, -7.5)

Answer 2

3,3/2

Explanation:

let 10,-6 be x1, y1

-4,-9 be x2, y2

(x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2

(10-4)/2 , (-6+9)/2

6/2 , 3/2

3 , 3/2
