Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints. (2,9) and (-8,-8)

Answer 1

The midpoint is (-3, 1/2)

Explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

(2+-8)/2 = -6/2 = -3

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

(9+-8)/2 = 1/2

The midpoint is (-3, 1/2)
