Question

Point A is at (-5,-4) and point B is at (5,-3). What is the midpoint of line segment AB?

Answer 1

Answer:

$(0 ,-3.5 )$

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint Formula: $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$

Simply plug in your 2 coordinates into the midpoint formula to find midpoint:

$(\frac{-5+5}{2} ,\frac{-4+-3}{2} )$

$(\frac{0}{2} ,\frac{-7}{2} )$

$(0 ,-3.5 )$
