Question

The Given the points (−4,8) and (6, −12)
a) Determine the midpoint of the line segment connecting two points

Answer 1

Answer:

point1: (-4,8)

point2: (6,-12)

so, x1=-4, x2=8

hence using mid-point theorem,

x of midpoint= (x1+x2)/2

                      =(-4+6)/2

                      2/2=1

now, y1=8, y2=-12

hence,

y of midpoint= (8+(-12))/2

                     =4/2=2

so, mid point is at (1,2)

ohaiyo!
