INVESTIGATION Using the grid provided, plot the line segments defined by each
pair of endpoints. Label the endpoints with their coordinates.
1.
b) V (-4, 6) and W (3,4)
a) R (-5,-4) and 5 (-1,0)
What do these segments have in common?
2.
3. Determine the coordinates of the midpoint of each segment.
Label each midpoint with its coordinates.
Midpoint of RS
-5+-4
Midpoint of vw
4. Describe how you calculated the coordinates of the
midpoints for RS and VW:
