Question

the endpoints of a line segment are located at (-3.-4) and (5,2) what are the coordinates for the midpoint of a the line segment

Answer 1

(1, -1)

Explanation:

Midpoint Formula = (
`(x_(1) + x_(2))/(2), (y_(1) + y_(2))/(2)`)

According to the points,

`x_(1) = -3, y_(1) = -4, x_(2) = 5, y_(2) = 2`

Plugging the numbers into the formula we get:

(
`(-3+5)/(2) ,(-4+2)/(2)`)

Which simplifies to:

(
`(2)/(2) ,-(2)/(2)`) = (1, -1)
