ok, the formula for the midpoint is (x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2

Answer 6

I know this.

Answer 7

ok, P is at (-2,8) or (x1,y2) and Q is at (8,-4)

Answer 8

Q is (x2,y2)

Answer 9

the concept for the midpoint is that you are averaging the x values and the y values.

Answer 10

It says find the midpoint of PQ. and the choices i have arent what you said..lol

Answer 11

is (3,2) a choice

Answer 12

Yes

Answer 13

well, I found that using the midpoint formula as follows.

P(-2,8)
Q(8,-4)

(x1+x2)/2 = (-2 + 8)/2 = 3
(y1+y2)/2 = (8 + -4)/2 = -2

so the midpoint is (3,-2)
