Question

(-9, -5) and (-1, -9)

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints.

Answer 1

Midpoint = (-5,-7)

Explanation:

`Midpoint =\left((x_2+x_1)/(2),\:\:(y_2+y_1)/(2)\right)\\\\\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-9,\:-5\right),\:\\\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-1,\:-9\right)\\\\Midpoint=\left((-1-9)/(2),\:(-9-5)/(2)\right)\\\\Midpoint = ((-10)/(2) , (-14)/(2))\\ \\Simplify\\\\Midpoint=\left(-5,\:-7\right)`
