Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of CD with endpoints C(−6, −1) and D(2, −7).

Answer 1

Midpoint formula is x1 +x2/ 2 , y1 + y2/ 2
(-6+2/2, -1-7/2)
(-2,-4)

Answer 2

(-2,-4)

Explanation:

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

( -6+2)/2 = -4/2 = -2

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

( -1+-7)/2 = -8/2 = -4

(-2,-4)
