1. Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment PQ.
P(-6, -5), Q(2, -7) Show all work.
Solution
To find the midpoint of a line section the formula is:
x = (x 1 + x 2 )/2
and
y = (y 1 + y 2 )/2
where x and y are the coordinates of the midpoint, and (x 1 ,y 1 ) are the coordinates of the first
point and (x 2 ,y 2 ) are the coordinates of the second point.
