Question

A line segment has endpoints at (1,6) and (9,-10).

The midpoint of the segment is located at what point?

Answer 1

Answer:(5,-2)

Explanation:

(1+9)/2 , (6-10)/2 = (5,-2)

Answer 2

Use the midpoint formula M = (x1+x2/2 , y1+y2/2)

M = (1+9/2 , 6+ -10/2 ) = 5,-2

The midpoint is located at 5,-2.
