Question

Two end points of a line segment are (-12, -2) and (-6, -10). What are the coordinates of the point on the line through which its bisector passes?

Answer 1

That's the midpoint that you are looking for. To get that you get the average of the x-coordinates for the midpoint x-coordinate and the average of the y-coordinates for the midpoint y-coordinate.

Answer 2

\[x _{midpoint} = \frac{ x _{1}+x _{2} }{ 2 }\]Similar for the y-coordinate.

Answer 3

Here, x1 = -12 and x2 = -6

Answer 4

thank You so it would be -18,-12

Answer 5

Averages.

Answer 6

You added the coordinates, but you did not divide by 2.

Answer 7

-9.-6

Answer 8
