Answer 1

Question #40432 – Math – Analytical Geometry

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment whose end point are (2,-3) and (-6,-3)?

Solution

Let $A(2; -3)$ and $B(-6; -3)$ be two points.

Coordinates of midpoint C of segment $AB$ are

$$x_C = \frac{x_A + x_B}{2} = \frac{2 - 6}{2} = \frac{-4}{2} = -2, \quad y_C = \frac{y_A + y_B}{2} = \frac{-3 - 3}{2} = \frac{-6}{2} = -3.$$

Answer: (-2,-3)
