Question

The midpoint of a line segment with end points as (x, 4) and (-2, -2) is (2, 1). What is the value of x?
Answer
x = -3
x = -2
x = 4
x = 6

Answer 1

6

Answer 2

\[\large \frac{(x_1 + x_2)}{2} = m_x\] mx means x coordinate of the midpoint

Answer 3

((x-2)/2,1) x-2/1 =2 x=6

Answer 4

your x1 is x and your x2 = -2

mx = 2

therefore.... \[\frac{x + (-2)}{2} = 2\] \[\frac{x -2}{2} = 2\] cross multiply \[x - 2 = 4\] solve for x

Answer 5

x-2/2 =2 sorry not divided by one...what he said ^^^

Answer 6

thanks:)
