Question

multiple - choice question
what is the midpoint of wm?
(-2,5)
(0, - 5)
(-5,0)
(5,0)
rewatch

Explanation:

Step1: Find coordinates of W and M

From the graph, \(W(-8,4)\) and \(M(-2,-4)\)

Step2: Use mid - point formula

The mid - point formula is \((\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})\)
For \(x\) - coordinate: \(\frac{-8+( - 2)}{2}=\frac{-8 - 2}{2}=\frac{-10}{2}=-5\)
For \(y\) - coordinate: \(\frac{4+( - 4)}{2}=\frac{4 - 4}{2}=0\)

Answer:

\((-5,0)\)
