Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the endpoints: (-2, 6) and (-3, 7)

Answer 1

The midpoint is ( -2.5, 6.5)

Explanation:

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

(-2+-3)/2 = -5/2 = -2.5

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

(6+7)/2 = 13/2 = 6.5

The midpoint is ( -2.5, 6.5)
