Question

If the midpoint of a horizontal line segment with a length of 8 is (3, -2), then the coordinates of its endpoints are:

Answer 1

Answer:

(-1, -2) and (7, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

since the length is 8 units, it's half (midpoint) is 4 units. so the end coordinates become (x-4, y) and (x+4, y)

plot the point (3,-2) in a graph , and add 4 units on each side in the x-axis.
