To find the midpoint of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, we can use the midpoint formula:
Midpoint = ( (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2 )
Using the given coordinates for points A and B, we have:
Midpoint = ( (-3 + (-7))/2 , (8 + (-6))/2 )
Midpoint = ( (-10)/2 , (2)/2 )
Midpoint = ( -5 , 1 )
Therefore, the midpoint of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is (-5, 1).
To find the midpoint of the line segment AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, we use the midpoint formula.
The midpoint formula is:
Midpoint = ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2)
Given A(-3,8) and B(-7,-6), we can substitute the values into the formula:
Midpoint = ((-3 + -7) / 2, (8 + -6) / 2)
= (-10 / 2, 2 / 2)
= (-5, 1)
Therefore, the midpoint of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is (-5, 1).
To find the midpoint of line segment AB, you can use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula states that the coordinates of the midpoint (M) of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are given by:
M = [(x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2]
In this case, the coordinates of point A are (-3, 8) and the coordinates of point B are (-7, -6).
So, let's substitute the values into the formula:
x1 = -3, y1 = 8
x2 = -7, y2 = -6
Applying the midpoint formula:
M = [(-3 + -7) / 2, (8 + -6) / 2]
= [-10 / 2, 2 / 2]
= [-5, 1]
Therefore, the midpoint of AB is (-5, 1).
