Determine the midpoint of the segment with endpoints (-10,-11) and (8,-17)
4 months ago
Q:
Determine the midpoint of the segment with endpoints (-10,-11) and (8,-17)
Accepted Solution
A:
The correct answer is:
(-1, -14).
Explanation:
The way to find a midpoint is by taking the average of each coordinate.
Since the x values are -10 and 8, the average would be -1:
[tex] \frac{-10+8}{2} [/tex] = -1.
Since the y values are -11 and -17, the average would be -14:
[tex] \frac{-11+-17}{2} [/tex] = -14.
Therefore the ordered pair is (-1, -14)
