Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment from (-5,4) to (3,-4)

Answer 1

we have the points (-5,4) to (3,-4)

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M\lparen\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

substitute the given coordinates

$M\operatorname{\lparen}\frac{-5+3}{2},\frac{4-4}{2})$$M\operatorname{\lparen}-1,0)$

the midpoint is (-1,0)
