Question

What is the midpoint of a line segment with the endpoints of (-4, -4) and (6, 14)

(10, 18)
(2, 10)
(-1, 4)
(1, 5)

Answer 1

The midpoint is ( 1,5)

Explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2

( -4+6)/2 = 2/2 =1

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2

( -4+14)/2 = 10/2 =5

The midpoint is ( 1,5)
