Question

What is the midpoint of the line segment

Answer 1

The answer to your question is (-1, -1)

Explanation:

Data

A (1, -6)

B (-3, 4)

Formula

Xm =
`(x1 + x2)/(2)`

Ym =
`(y1 + y2)/(2)`

Process

1.- Substitute the values in the formula

x1 = 1 x2 = -3

Xm =
`(1 - 3)/(2) = (-2)/(2) = -1`

y1 = -6 y2 = 4

Ym =
`(-6 + 4)/(2) = (-2)/(2) = -1`

2.- The midpoint is (-1, -1)
