Find the midpoint

Question

Find the midpoint of (-4,3) and (-2,0)

Answer 1

The midpoint of a line segment is at the middle of the segment, equal distance from each end. The x-coordinate of the midpoint will be the average of the x-coordinates of the endpoints, and the y-coordinate of the midpoint will be the average of the y-coordinates of the endpoints.

Let's say: midpoint = (x, y)

x = (-4 + -2)/2 = -6/2 = -3

y = (3 + 0)/2 = 3/2 = 1.5

So, (x, y) = (-3, 1.5)

Hope this is helpful!
