Question

How do you find the midpoint of (5,-10), (5,8)?

Answer 1

`(5,-1)`

Explanation:

The midpoint of a segment with endpoints A = (x₁, y₁) and B = (x₂, y₂) has coordinates :
[(x₁ + x₂) /2 , (y₁ + y₂)/2]

So in this case:
`(5,-10), (5,8)`
midpoint is at:
`[(5+5)/2,(-10+8)/2]`
`=(10/2,-2/2)`
`=(5,-1)`
