Question

CD has endpoints C(6,-8) and D(-4,10) on a coordinate plane. What are the coordinates of the midpoint CD

Answer 1

Answer:

The required midpoints are ( 1,  1 ).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the endpoints are C( 6, -8) and D ( -4, 10)-

As we know that-

If a line segment AB is with endpoints ( $x_{1}, y_{1}$ ) and  ( $x_{2}, y_{2}$ ) then the mid points C are-  

C = (  $\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}$ , $\frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2}$  )

Here,

C( 6, -8) and D ( -4, 10)-

then the midpoints C are-

C = ( $\frac{ 6 + (- 4) }{2}$  , $\frac{-8 + 10}{2}$

C= ( 2/2 , 2/2 )

C = ( 1, 1 )

Hence the required midpoints are ( 1, 1 ).
