What is the midpoint of a segment with end points of (-4, -8) and (8, 10)
To find the midpoint of a segment with endpoints (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), you can use the midpoint formula:
Midpoint = ((x₁ + x₂) / 2, (y₁ + y₂) / 2)
For the given endpoints (-4, -8) and (8, 10), the midpoint is:
Midpoint = ((-4 + 8) / 2, (-8 + 10) / 2)
= (4 / 2, 2 / 2)
= (2, 1)
Therefore, the midpoint of the segment is (2, 1).
