Question

What is the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (-8, 12) and (-13, -2)?

Answer 1

\[(\frac{ -21 }{ 2 }, 5)\]

Answer 2

the possible answers are (-10.5, 5) and (-10.5, 7)

Answer 3

-8 - (-13) = 5, so would it be the first one?

Answer 4

It's (-10.5,5)

Answer 5

How did you get to that?

Answer 6

I used the midpoint formula which is \[(\frac{ X1+X2 }{ 2 },\frac{ Y1+Y2 }{ 2 })\] I then plugged in the coordinates and solved it

Answer 7

x1 is -8 and x2 is -13, right? @hlyweiman

Answer 8
