Question

Find the midpoint between two points on a coordinate plane whose coordinates are (7, -8) and (-3, -4).

Answer 1

Average the x coordinates, and average the y coordinates. Those are coordinates of the midpoint.

Answer 2

your midpoint is(2,-12)

Answer 3

heres the formula

Answer 4

@PrincessAlexis re-calculate for y..!
and one more thing ... we are not allowed to tell the answer directly..!

Answer 5

sorry cupcake im new ^_^

Answer 6

y is 4

Answer 7

:D... no problem..:D
BTW... re-calculate for the value of y... in the answer that you've givven...:D

Answer 8

can you guys explain how u got the answer

Answer 9

girly first of all look at the formula that Princess has attached

Answer 10

the points that you have are
(7, -8) and (-3, -4).
now let X1 be 7
and X2 be -3

Y1 be -8
Y2 be -4

so add now
Add X1 + X2
then divide that with 2
to get the value of the x co-ordinate of the mid-point
and then
add Y1+Y2
then divide that with 2
and you would get value of y co-ordinate of the mid- point

and then just plug in those values in the x and y here in ( x,y) for the co-ordinates of the mid point..:D

Answer 11

@girl8r7y did u get it ?

Answer 12

no

Answer 13

so wait thats the answer?

Answer 14

@Shizen

Answer 15

no..! I told you about X1 , X2 and Y1 ,Y2 in the 2nd last comment
now add those x1+x2 and divide that result by 2 to get the x - coordinate of mid-point
and same with y1 +y2 divided by 2 to get the y-co-ordinate of the mid-point..!

Answer 16

As I originally said: average the x coordinates, average the y coordinates, that's your midpoint...

Answer 17

yeah..! @whpalmer4 ...
