Which methods could you use to calculate the coordinate of the midpoint of a vertical line segment with endpoints at (00) and (0-12)?

To calculate the midpoint of a vertical line segment with endpoints at (0, 0) and (0, -12), you can use the midpoint formula, which is given by ( M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right) ). For your endpoints, this becomes ( M = \left( \frac{0 + 0}{2}, \frac{0 + (-12)}{2} \right) ), resulting in ( M = (0, -6) ). Alternatively, since the x-coordinates are the same, you can simply average the y-coordinates: ( \frac{0 + (-12)}{2} = -6 ), confirming the midpoint is at (0, -6).
