Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint between point A(-5, -9) and the origin.


Find the midpoint of line segment TS. t= (-5, 3) & s=(3, -9)
A. (-1, -3) B. (-2, -6) C. (-4, 6) D. (11, -21)

Answer 1

\(\text{Midpoint}=(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2})\)

You have the two points,
(-5, -9) and (0, 0)

Answer 2

if you want the middle point, add the two x values and divide by 2
add the two y values and divide by 2

the x value is the first number in (x,y) pair
y is the 2nd number.

can you do that ?
