Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints.
(1, -8) and (10,-3)

Answer 1

(5.5, -5.5)

Explanation:

Find the average of the x coordinates:

(1 + 10) / 2

11/2

= 5.5

Find the average of the y coordinates:

(-8 + -3) / 2

-11/2

= -5.5

These two averages will be the x and y coordinates of the midpoint:

So, the midpoint is (5.5, -5.5)
