Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints.
(-2,7) and (-10, -1)

Answer 1

`(-6 ,3 )`

Explanation:

Midpoint Formula:
`((x_1+x_2)/(2) ,(y_1+y_2)/(2) )`

Simply plug in your 2 coordinates into the midpoint formula to find midpoint:

`((-2+-10)/(2) ,(7+-1)/(2) )`

`((-2-10)/(2) ,(7-1)/(2) )`

`((-12)/(2) ,(6)/(2) )`

`(-6 ,3 )`
