Question

a line segment has the end points are eight, -2 and s -16, -7 find the coordinates of its midpoint M write the coordinates as decimals are integers

Answer 1

Given data:

The first end point of the line segment is (8 ,-2).

The second end point is (-16, -7).

The mid point of the line segment is,

`\begin{gathered} x=(8+(-16))/(2) \\ =-4 \\ y=(-2-7)/(2) \\ =-(9)/(2) \\ =-4.5 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the coordinate of mid point is (-4, -4.5).
