Question

The endpoints of $\overline{YZ}$ are $Y(1,\ -6)$ and $Z(-2,\ 8)$ . Find the coordinates of the midpoint $M$ .

Answer 1

The coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment YZ is; (-1/2, 1).

What is the midpoint of the line segment, YZ as given in the task content?

The midpoint, M of the line segment YZ as required in the task content can be determined as follows;

x-axis;

= (-2+1)/2 = -1/2.

y-axis;

= (8+(-6))/2 = 1.

Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint is;

M = (-1/2, 1).
