Question

what is the segment midpoint for (-8,-7) and (-7,-8)

Answer 1

Are you aware of the mid point formula @tiffanydecker?

Answer 2

no maam

Answer 3

Okay, it's pretty easy. Suppose I have two points, (a,b) and (c,d), and I want the midpoint of the two. I take the arithmatic mean of x and y coordinates respectively.

For x coordinate, it is (a+c)/2 and y coordinate, it is (b+d)/2

These will be the mid poits.

Answer 4

ok so what would be the midpoint for (-8,-7) (-7.-8) they come out to be -7.5 when i divided it by two. is that wrong?

Answer 5

No. That's correct. It's (-7.5,-7.5)
