Question

Find the location of Point Q which is 1/2 of the way between points P and R. Point P is at (-2,-7). Point R is located at (6,10)

Answer 1

Point Q: (2, 3/2)

Explanation:

this question is asking us to find the midpoint (point Q) of points P and R. the midpoint formula is:
`(x_1+x_2)/(2)`,
`(y_1+y_2)/(2)`

Point P will be our x1 and y1, and point R will be our x2 and y2. so we plug it into the equation

`(-2 + 6)/(2)`,
`(-7 + 10)/(2)`

x --> -2 + 6 = 4/2 = 2

y --> -7 +10 = 3/2 = 3/2

with these answers we have determined the location of point Q. point q is located at (2, 3/2)
