Question

Find the midpoint of joining 4 - 5 and 8 - 3​

Answer 1

(6, - 4 )

Explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

(
`(x_(1)+x_(2) )/(2)`,
`(y_(1)+y_(2) )/(2)` )

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, - 3) , then

midpoint = (
`(4+8)/(2)`,
`(-5-3)/(2)` ) = (
`(12)/(2)`,
`(-8)/(2)` ) = (6, - 4 )
