Find the midpoint of the line segment with end coordinates of:(-1.-6) and (4,5)
yikes IDK
To find the midpoint of a line segment, you need to average the coordinates of the two endpoints.
Let's denote the first endpoint as (x1, y1) and the second endpoint as (x2, y2).
In this case, the first endpoint is (-1, -6) and the second endpoint is (4, 5).
To find the x-coordinate of the midpoint, you need to average the x-coordinates of the two endpoints:
x-coordinate of midpoint = (x1 + x2) / 2
= (-1 + 4) / 2
= 3 / 2
= 1.5
Similarly, to find the y-coordinate of the midpoint, you need to average the y-coordinates of the two endpoints:
y-coordinate of midpoint = (y1 + y2) / 2
= (-6 + 5) / 2
= -1 / 2
= -0.5
So, the midpoint of the line segment with end coordinates (-1, -6) and (4, 5) is (1.5, -0.5).
average of -1 and +4 = 3/2
average of -6 and +5 = -1/2
so
(3/2 , -1/2)
