Question

Find the midpoint between the points (-4, 2) and (-6, -2)

a (5, 1)
b (5, 0)
c (-5, 0)
d (2, 0)

Answer 1

c (-5, 0)

Explanation:

midpoint formula:

`( (x1 + x2)/(2) ) \: and \: ( (y1 + y2)/(2) )`

`x1 = - 4\\ x2 = - 6 \\ x1 + x2 = - 4 + - 6 \\ = - 10`

`( - 10)/(2) = - 5`

`y1 = 2 \\ y2 = - 2 \\ y1 + y2 = 2 + ( - 2) \\ = 0`

so, -5 is x and 0 is y. the answer is C.
