Question

How do you find the midpoint of G(-2,-8) and H(-3,-12)?

Answer 1

`M = (-2.5 , -10)`

Explanation:

The midpoint of a line created by the coordinates of the endpoints of the line can be determined using the formula

`M= ((x_1+x_2)/2 , (y_1+y_2)/2)`

For the coordinates (-2,-8) and (-3,-12)

`x_1 = -2`
`x_2 = -3`
`y_1 = -8`
`y_2 = -12`

`((-2+(-3))/2 , (-8+(-12))/2)`
`(-5/2 , -20/2)`
`M = (-2.5 , -10)`
