Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below (-11,0) (9,-1)

Answer 1

(-1, -1/2)

Explanation:

M= (Xa+Xb/2, Ya + Yb/2)

M= -11+9/2 , 0 + -1/2

M = -2/2, -1/2

M=(-1, -1/2)

Answer 2

(-1,-1/2)

Explanation:

The mid-point of a line segment is defined as the point halfway between the end points of a line segment.

It is denoted by M.

The formula to find mid-point of a line segment is

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

where
`x_(1) =-11`

`x_(2) =9`

`y_(1) =0`

`y_(2)`=-1 are given.

put above values in mid-point formula:

M= (-11+9/2,0-1/2)

M=(-2/2,-1/2)

M=(-1,-1/2)
