Question

Find the midpoint of the segment joining points A (-8, -5) and B (6, 9).

hintHint:

Midpoint divides the line segment in two equal parts.

○        If Line has  two endpoints (x1, y1) and  (x2, y2) then midpoint of line segment will be fraction numerator open parentheses x subscript 1 plus x subscript 2 close parentheses over denominator 2 end fraction comma fraction numerator open parentheses y subscript 1 plus y subscript 2 close parentheses over denominator 2 end fraction

The correct answer is: (-1, 2).


    • Step by step explanation:
    ○        Given:
    End points of line.

    A (-8, -5) and B (6, 9)
    ○        Step 1:
    ○        As we know, the midpoint divides the line segment in two equal parts, and midpoint of line are given by  fraction numerator open parentheses x subscript 1 plus x subscript 2 close parentheses over denominator 2 end fraction comma fraction numerator open parentheses y subscript 1 plus y subscript 2 close parentheses over denominator 2 end fraction
    So,
    Midpoint of AB:
