Question

8 refer to the coordinate plane to find the coordinates of the midpoint of segment db.

Explanation:

Step1: Find coordinates of D and B

From the coordinate plane, \(D(-4, 2)\) and \(B(-1,-2)\)

Step2: Use mid - point formula

The mid - point formula is \((\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})\). Here \(x_1=-4,y_1 = 2,x_2=-1,y_2=-2\)

$$x=\frac{-4+( - 1)}{2}=\frac{-4 - 1}{2}=\frac{-5}{2}=-2.5$$

$$y=\frac{2+( - 2)}{2}=\frac{2 - 2}{2}=0$$

Answer:

\((-2.5,0)\)
