Question

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment with endpoints at (-3, -4) and (5, 8)?

Answer 1

Answer:

(4, ``6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint formula is

((x sub 2 - x sub 1)/2, (y sub 2 -y sub 1)/2). As shown, its written like a coordinate

Your x sub 1 is the x-coordinate of your first coordinate pair, and the rest follow the same pattern.

So, (5-(-3)/2, 8-(-4)/2)

5-(-3)=5+3=8

8-(-4)=8+4=12

(8/2, 12/2)

(4,6)
