Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints.
(10,-5) and (2, -1)

Answer 1

Answer: (6,-3)

Step-by-step explanation: you need to use the midpoint formula, which is (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2. With that, you just need to put in the points correspondingly. Do (10+2)/2 which is 6, and (-5+(-1))/2 which is -3. The midpoint then is (6,-3)

Answer 2

(6, -3)

Explanation:

You can graph the point and jump to the correct midpoint, or you can use the midpoint formula, (
`(x1+x2)/(2) , (y1+y2)/(2)`). Find x1, x2, y1, and y2 from (10,-5) and (2, -1).
