PLEASE HELP !! Which of the following is the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (-2,-4) and (6,8)? (4,6) or (4,4) or (2,2) or (2,4)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is (2 , 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of a line segment with two endpoints can be found using the formula

[tex]M = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )[/tex]

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question

The endpoints are (-2,-4) and (6,8)

The midpoint is

[tex]M = ( \frac{ - 2 + 6}{2} , \frac{ - 4 +8 }{2} ) \\ = ( \frac{4}{2} , \frac{ 4 }{2} )[/tex]

We have the final answer as

M = ( 2 , 2)

Hope this helps you
