Question

C is the midpoint of segment AB D is the midpoint of segment BC A is located at (4,8) and B is located at (-12,4) what are the coordinates of D

Answer 1

coordinates of D are ( -8, 5)

Explanation:

- the formula of the coordinates of the midpoint is (x1+x2)/2 & (y1+y2)/2

- first we find midpoint C by using coordinates of points A and B

C => (4 - 12)/2 & (8 + 4)/2

calculate, coordinates of C are ( -4, 6 )

- now find midpoint D by using the coordinates of B and C

D => ( -12 - 4 )/2 & (4 +6)/2

calculate and the coordinates of D are ( -8, 5 )
