Answer:

c) (-2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the midpoint of a line, u have to average its coordinates.

Coordinates of P = (2,6)

Coordinates of Q = (-6, -8)

The formula for finding the midpoint is this:

[tex](\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2 } )[/tex]

this basically means u average the points. So for the midpoint's x coordinate, it'll be (2-6)/2 = (-4)/2 = -2

midpoint's y coordinate = (6-8)/2 = (-2)/2 = -1

Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint are (-2, -1), option c

hope this helps!

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Just eye balling the answer it looks to me like the midpoint is (-2,-1). Of course Eyeballing it is not the way to do math, but it tells you where it is approximately.

Given Points

P: (2,6)

Q: (-6,-8)

Solution

midpoint = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2

midpoint = (2 + - 6)/2, (6 - 8)/2

midpoint = (-4/2, -2/2)

midpoint = (-2,-1)
