Find the Midpoint (-6,4) and (-10,-4)

$(- 6, 4)$ and $(- 10, - 4)$

Step 1

Use the midpoint formula to find the midpoint of the line segment.

$(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})$

Step 2

Substitute in the values for $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ .

$(\frac{- 6 - 10}{2}, \frac{4 - 4}{2})$

Step 3

Cancel the common factor of $- 6 - 10$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $- 6$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot - 3 - 10}{2}, \frac{4 - 4}{2})$

Factor $2$ out of $- 10$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot - 3 + 2 \cdot - 5}{2}, \frac{4 - 4}{2})$

Factor $2$ out of $2 \cdot - 3 + 2 \cdot - 5$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot (- 3 - 5)}{2}, \frac{4 - 4}{2})$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot (- 3 - 5)}{2 (1)}, \frac{4 - 4}{2})$

Cancel the common factor.

$(\frac{2 \cdot (- 3 - 5)}{2 \cdot 1}, \frac{4 - 4}{2})$

Rewrite the expression.

$(\frac{- 3 - 5}{1}, \frac{4 - 4}{2})$

Divide $- 3 - 5$ by $1$ .

$(- 3 - 5, \frac{4 - 4}{2})$

Step 4

Subtract $5$ from $- 3$ .

$(- 8, \frac{4 - 4}{2})$

Step 5

Cancel the common factor of $4 - 4$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $4$ .

$(- 8, \frac{2 \cdot 2 - 4}{2})$

Factor $2$ out of $- 4$ .

$(- 8, \frac{2 \cdot 2 + 2 \cdot - 2}{2})$

Factor $2$ out of $2 \cdot 2 + 2 \cdot - 2$ .

$(- 8, \frac{2 \cdot (2 - 2)}{2})$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

$(- 8, \frac{2 \cdot (2 - 2)}{2 (1)})$

Cancel the common factor.

$(- 8, \frac{2 \cdot (2 - 2)}{2 \cdot 1})$

Rewrite the expression.

$(- 8, \frac{2 - 2}{1})$

Divide $2 - 2$ by $1$ .

$(- 8, 2 - 2)$

Step 6

Subtract $2$ from $2$ .

$(- 8, 0)$

Step 7

Find the Midpoint (-6,4) and (-10,-4)
