Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints (-6,4) and (-10,-4)

Answer 1

The answer is

( - 8 , 0 )

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 (-10,-4)

The midpoint is

`M = ( ( - 6 - 10)/(2) \: , \: (4 - 4)/(2) ) \\ = ( - (16)/(2) \: , \: 0)`

We have the final answer as

( - 8 , 0)

Hope this helps you
