Question

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose end points are A(-1, -2) and B(6, 12)?

Answer 1

Mid point is (5/2, 5)

Explanation:

Point A is located at (-1, -2) , and B is located at B(6, 12)

We need to find the midpoint of A and B

Mid point formula is
`((x_1+x_2)/(2), (y_1+y_2)/(2))`

Point A is (-1, -2) that is (x1,y1)

Point B is (6, 12) that is (x2, y2)

plug in the values in the formula

`((x_1+x_2)/(2), (y_1+y_2)/(2))`

`((-1+6)/(2), (-2+12)/(2))`

`((5)/(2), (10)/(2))`

Mid point is (5/2, 5)
