F(2, –1) and G(–6, 9) are the endpoints of a line segment. What is the midpoint M of that line segment?
Write the coordinates as decimals or integers.
M = (
,
)
The coordinates of the midpoint M can be found by averaging the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of points F and G.
Midpoint M = ( (2 - 6) / 2 , (-1 + 9) / 2)
Midpoint M = (-4 / 2 , 8 / 2)
Midpoint M = (-2, 4)
Therefore, the midpoint M of the line segment with endpoints F(2, -1) and G(-6, 9) is M(-2, 4).
