Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment.

Answer 1

(1, 3)

Explanation:

The first endpoint (the one on the left) is (-3, 2). The second endpoint (the one on the right) is (5, 4). To find the midpoint, find the middle of both x and y. To do that, add the values of x and y respectively and divide by 2:

for x-value of midpoint:

(x-value of first endpoint + x-value of second endpoint) / 2

= (-3 + 5) / 2

= 2 / 2

= 1

for y-value of midpoint

(y-value of first endpoint + y-value of second endpoint) / 2

= (2 + 4) / 2

= 6 / 2

= 3
