Question

question find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints. (5, 4) and (-3, -4) answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$. Here $x_1 = 5,y_1 = 4,x_2=-3,y_2 = - 4$.

Step2: Calculate x - coordinate of mid - point

$x=\frac{5+( - 3)}{2}=\frac{5 - 3}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1$.

Step3: Calculate y - coordinate of mid - point

$y=\frac{4+( - 4)}{2}=\frac{4 - 4}{2}=0$.

Answer:

$(1,0)$
