| Solved by pluggable solver: Midpoint |
The first point is (x1,y1). The second point is (x2,y2) Since the first point is (-6, -2), we can say (x1, y1) = (-6, -2) So Since the second point is (-2, -2), we can also say (x2, y2) = (-2, -2) So Put this all together to get: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finding the x coordinate of the midpoint: Add up the corresponding x coordinates x1 and x2 and divide that sum by 2 X Coordinate of Midpoint = X Coordinate of Midpoint = X Coordinate of Midpoint = X Coordinate of Midpoint = So the x coordinate of the midpoint is -4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finding the y coordinate of the midpoint: Add up the corresponding y coordinates y1 and y2 and divide that sum by 2 Y Coordinate of Midpoint = Y Coordinate of Midpoint = Y Coordinate of Midpoint = Y Coordinate of Midpoint = So the y coordinate of the midpoint is -2 =============================================================================== Summary: The midpoint of the segment joining the two points (-6, -2) and (-2, -2) is (-4, -2). So the answer is (-4, -2) |
