Question

what is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (-1,7) and (3,-3)

Answer 1

The midpoint is just the average of the endpoint coordinates.

So to find the coordinates (x,y) of the midpoint, just find the average of the two x-coordinate endpoints; and the average of the two y-coordinate endpoints.

Answer 2

use y2-y1/x2-x1 to get midpoint

Answer 3

@ayesha05

That is NOT the midpoint formula. That is the formula for the slope between two points.

Answer 4

i honestly dont know how to answer this what so ever the answer would be nice lol

Answer 5

Do you know how to find the average of two numbers?

Answer 6

To find the average of two numbers, add the two numbers and then divide by 2.

Answer 7

this is a timed quiz

Answer 8

You must answer the question. Whats the big deal in finding the average of two numbers?

Answer 9

i am sorry for having placed the wrong formula

Answer 10

the midpoint formula i use is x2+x1 all over 2. to find your x-co-ordinate and y2+y1 all over 2 to get your y coordinate of your midpoint.
\[\frac{ x2+x1 }{ 2 }\] and \[\frac{ y2+y1 }{ 2 }\]
