Question

Given the coordinates of point T at (-5,6) and point X at (3,2). What is the
coordinate for the midpoint of line segment TX?

Answer 1

Answer:

The midpoint is

( - 1 , 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

$M = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

T( - 5 , 6) and X ( 3 , 2)

The midpoint is

$M = ( \frac{ - 5 + 3}{2} \: , \: \frac{6 + 2}{2} ) \\ = ( - \frac{2}{2} \: , \: \frac{8}{2} )$

We have the final answer as

( - 1 , 4)

Hope this helps you
