Question

Find the midpoint of segment CD, given that C is (-4, 7) and D is (0, -3).

Answer 1

(-2, 2)

Explanation:

`Midpoint \: of \: segment \: CD \\\\ = \bigg( ( - 4 + 0 )/(2), \: \: (7 + ( - 3))/(2) \bigg) \\ \\ = \bigg( ( - 4 )/(2), \: \: (7 - 3)/(2) \bigg) \\ \\ = \bigg( ( - 4 )/(2), \: \: (4)/(2) \bigg) \\ \\ = ( - 2, \: \: 2)`

Answer 2

change in x = 4
change in y = -10

halfway between
x 2
y -5

so -2,2
