Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are (10, 6) and (-4, 8).

Answer 1

9,1
7,-1
3,7 >>>>>>>>>> ???????

Answer 2

Just sum the x coordinates and then divide by 2..

Similarly add the y coordinates and then divide by 2..

Answer 3

7,-1?

Answer 4

\[Midpoint(x,y) = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})\]

Answer 5

Check it once again..

Answer 6

9,1?

Answer 7

\[10 + (-4) \implies 10 - 4 = 6 \implies \frac{6}{2} = ??\]

Answer 8

See in case of addition :
+(-) = -

So :
\[\frac{10 + (-4)}{2} \implies \frac{10 - 4}{2} = ??\]

Answer 9

i'm so confused. -_-

Answer 10

Where??

Can you tell me?

Answer 11

like I understand 6/2 but my schoolwork has none of those answers even if I divide.

Answer 12

See if you have 10 and +4 as x coordinates you will add like this:
\[10 + (+4) = 10 + 4 = 14\]

In that case you will get 7, no doubt..

But here it is -4 not +4.

Answer 13

What is the third answer choice??

Answer 14

Simply tell me what is 6/2 = ??

Answer 15

here is what I do
10, 6
-4 , 8 Stack the points
________
6 14 Add divide by 2
/2 /2

(3, 7)
