Question

Given points A(4, -1) and C(0, -6), find AC and the coordinates of the midpoint of AC?

Answer 1

The midpoint is ( 2,-3.5)

Explanation:

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

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

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

( -1+-6)/2 = -7/2 =-3.5

The midpoint is ( 2,-3.5)
