Question

How do you find the midpoint of (-4, -3) and (4, -8)?

Answer 1

The midpoint `= (0 , (-11)/2)`

Explanation:

`(-4,-3) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1`
`(4,-8) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2`

Midpoint is calculated using formula: `color(blue)(((x_1+x_2)/2 , (y_1+y_2)/2)`

`=( (-4 +4)/2 , (-3+(-8))/2)`

`= ((0)/2 , (-11)/2)`

`= (0 , (-11)/2)`
