Question

The points (8, -10) and (-21, 4) form a line segment.
Write down the midpoint of the line segment.

Answer 1

Answer:

The coordinates of the midpoint are;

(-6.5, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the midpoint of the line segment

To get this, we use the midpoint formula;

(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2

Thus;

(x,y) = (8 - 21)/2, (-10 + 4)/2

(x,y) = -13/2 , -6/2

(x,y) = (-6.5 , -3)
