Question

If the coordinate of A is (0, -2) and the coordinate of B is (10, -6), the then midpoint of \overline{AB} AB is: Part A The X portion of the midpoint is __________________. Part B The Y portion of the midpoint is _________________.

Answer 1

Explanation:

it is very simple :

the midpoint coordinates are created as the midpoint of the x coordinates, and the midpoint of the y coordinates.

the x coordinate of the midpoint is

(0 + 10)/2 = 10/2 = 5

the y coordinate of the midpoint is

(-2 + -6)/2 = -8/2 = -4
