Question

Find the midpoint of a line segment that has one endpoint in the first quadrant at (5, 8) and the other endpoint in the fourth quadrant at (5, -10).

Answer 1

midpoint formula : (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2
(5,8)...x1 = 5 and y1 = 8
(5,-10)...x2 = 5 and y2 = -10
now we sub
m = (5 + 5)/2 , (8 +(-10) / 2
m = 10/2 , -2/2
m = (5,-1) <==
