Question

{20 points}

If the endpoints of have the coordinates A(9, 8) and B(-1, -2), what is the midpoint of ?


(5, 3)



(4, 5)



(5, 5)



(4, 3)

Answer 1

Midpoint formula is ( (x₁+x₂) / 2, (y₁+y₂) / 2 )

So that would be ( (9-1) / 2, (8-2) / 2 ) = ( 8 / 2, 6 / 2 ) = (4, 3)

Final answer: (4, 3)
