Which of the following is the midpoint of segment
AB
given that
A(−5,12) and B(3,−8)


Sagot :

Answer:

(-1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the midpoint of a line, having been given two points, is like finding the average coordinate of those two points.

To find the average x coodinate (and hence the midpoint's x coordinate), you have to sum the x coordinates and divide by 2 - like finding the mean.

To find the y coordinate, sum the y coordinates and divide by two.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(12 - 8)/2 = 4/2 = 2

(-5 + 3)/2 = -2/2= -1

(-1, 2) midpoint
