Question

What is the midpoint of a segment whose endpoints are (14, -7) and (6, -7)?

Answer 1

(10, -7)

Explanation:

Let the mid point is (x, y).

If the ends points are (x1,y1), (x2,y2), then midpoint will be

`x = (x1 + x2)/2 and y = (y1 + y2)/2`

here,`x = (14+6)/2 = 20/2 = 10`

and `y = [(-7)+(-7)]/2 = -14/2 = -7`

the point is (x , y) = (10 , -7)
