Question

Determine the midpoint of the line segment drawn between each of the end points A(-5,-1) and B(5,1)

Answer 1

the midpoint is the point equidistant to each endpoint.

Or you can say the coordinates are the averages of the coordinates of the endpoints

 

Do the x and y coordinates separately.

 

for y we get (-1 + 1)/2 = 0

for x we get (-5 + 5)/2 = 0

 

the midpoint is (0,0)
