Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (9,2) and (-3,-2)

Answer 1

(3,0)

Explanation:

The midpoint formula is as follows:

`( (x1+x2) /2, (y1 + y2) /2 )`

x1 would be 9, x2 would be -3, y1 would be 2, y2 would be -2. When plugged in, you should get 6/2, and 0/2 for y. When simplified, x would be 3 and y would be 0. This means that the midpoint of the line segment is (3,0)
