Question

The endpoints of segment AB are A (-8,4) and B (10,6). What are the coordinates of M, the midpoint of segment AB?

Answer 1

M (1,5)

Explanation:

A(-8,4) , B(10,6)

By mid-point formula,

M [(x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2]

M ( -8+10/2 , 4+6/2)

M (2/2 , 10/2)

M (1,5)

Answer 2

The midpoint of (-8, 4) and (10, 6) is (1, 5)
