Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints. (6,−4) and (−2,0)

Answer 1

The answer is

( 2 , - 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

(6,−4) and (−2,0)

The midpoint is

`M = ( (6 - 2)/(2) \: , \: ( - 4 + 0)/(2) ) \\ = ( (4)/(2) \: , \: - (4)/(2) )`

We have the final answer as

( 2 , - 2)

Hope this helps you
