Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below -1,5 5,5

Answer 1

`\displaystyle [2, 5]`

Explanation:

Halfway in between 5 and −1 is 2 because the range in between the quantities is 6, in which you must half it to get 3. This is what you add to −1, resulting in the x-coordinate of 2. Now, all y-coordinates will remain the same no matter what you do because the equation of the whole segment is
`\displaystyle y = 5,`therefore the midpoint is
`\displaystyle [2, 5].`

You could also split the sum of each group of coordinates in half:

`\displaystyle [x, y] \Rightarrow [(5 - 1)/(2), (5 + 5)/(2)] \\ \\ \boxed{[2, 5]}`

**Either way, you will still get the ordered pair of
`\displaystyle [2, 5].`

I am joyous to assist you at any time.

Answer 2

The midpoint is (2,5)

Explanation:

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

=(-1+5)/2 (5+5)/2

= 4/2, 10/2

=2,5

The midpoint is (2,5)
