Question

The midpoint between (–4, 8) and (0, 10) is (x, y). What is x?

Answer 1

x = -2

Explanation:

The x coordinate of the midpoint is found by adding the x coordinates together and dividing by 2

( -4+0)/2 = -4/2 = -2

The y coordinate of the midpoint is found by adding the y coordinates together and dividing by 2

( 8+10)/2 = 18/2 = 9
