Question

A line segment has the endpoints U(29,-79) and V(-31, 97). Find the coordinates of its midpoint M. Write the coordinates as decimals or integers. M =

Answer 1

Answer:

M(-1,9)

Explanation:

To find the coordinates of the midpoint of line segment UV, we simply add each coordinate and divide by 2.

For x-coordinate:

$\frac{29+(-31)}{2}=-1$

For y-coordinate:

$\frac{-79+97}{2}=9$

Therefore, the coordinates of M are:

$M(-1,9_{})$
