Question

Find the coordinates for the midpoint of the segment with endpoints given.
(10, 6) and (-4, 8)

(7, 7)
(3, 7)

Answer 1

The midpoint formula is

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

Answer 2

o the answer is number 2 right ? thats what im getting

Answer 3

The solution will be a point (x,y) of course.

Answer 4

so im geussing number 1

Answer 5

@gabby122, the solution will be a point in the form (x,y). Saying the "the answer is 2" or "the answer is 1" is not the solution.

Answer 6

If you are going to state what the solution is, you should state it explicitly

Answer 7

For example, if I had to find the midpoint of (2,4) and (4,8) I would state that the midpoint is (3,6). Or that the solution is the point (3,6).

Answer 8

If I stated the solution is 2, then it wouldn't make sense. The solution must be a point in the form (x,y).
