Question

Find the midpoint of the two points below. Type your answer as a point (x,y) without any spaces between your characters. Be sure to include the parentheses and a comma between your x and y values. If a value is not an integer then type your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.(−6,−3) and (-2,-7)The midpoint is Answer

Answer 1

Given the points ( -6, -3) and (-2, -7)

Let the midpoint = M

The midpoint is given by the formula:

$M=\frac{(x_1,y_1)+(x_2,y_2)}{2}$

Substitute with the given points

So, the midpoint will be:

$M=\frac{(-6,-3)+(-2,-7)}{2}=\frac{(-8,-10)}{2}=(-4,-5)$

So, the answer will be:

$(-4,-5)$
