Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints (3, -5) , (2, 9)

Answer 1

The coordinates of the midpoint are (5/2 , 2) ....

Explanation:

The midpoint is the average values of the endpoint coordinates

We have to find the midpoint of (x1,y1) (x2,y2) = (3, -5) , (2, 9)

We have:

(3, -5) , (2, 9)

To find the coordinates of the mid point we will apply:

M(x1+x2/2 , y1+y2/2)

Now substitute the values:

M(3+2/2, -5+9/2)

M(5/2 , 4/2)

M(5/2 , 2)

Thus the coordinates of the midpoint are (5/2 , 2) ....
