Question

What are the coordinates of the midpoint between (3,-7) and (-5, 2)?

(-4,-4.5)
O (1, 2.5)
O (-2,-5)
(-1,-2.5)

Answer 1

The coordinates of the midpoint : (-1,-2.5)

Further explanation

Given

The coordinates of (3,-7) and (-5, 2)

Required

Midpoint

Solution

Can be formulated :

`\tt midpoint=(x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)`

Input the value :

x₁=3

x₂=-5

y₁=-7

y₂=2

`\tt midpoint=((3+(-5))/(2),(-7+2)/(2))\\\\midpoint=((-2)/(2),(-5)/(2))\\\\midpoint=(-1,-2.5)`
