Question

The coordinates of points A and L are -4 and 16, respectively.

What is the coordinate of the midpoint between them?

A. 6

B. 4

C. 2

D. 0

Answer 1

To find the distance between them, subtract.
16-(-4)=20

To find the midpoint, either subtract half of the distance, 10, from the largest number, or add 10 to the smallest number.

-4+10=6
16-10=6

Final answer: A
