Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints of
(1,0), (-2,-4)

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

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

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

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

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

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