Question

Given (3, 5) and (-2, 1), find the midpoint between these two points.

Answer 1

Square root of 41

Explanation:

Use the distance formula to determine the distance between the two points:

Distance = square root of (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

= square root of (-2)-3)^2 + (1- 5))^2

= square root of 25 + 16

= square root of 41

Answer 2

(0.5, 3 )

Explanation:

Using the midpoint formula

[ 0.5(x₁ + x₂ ), 0.5(y₁ + y₂ ) ]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 2, 1)

midpoint = [0.5(3 - 2), 0.5(5 + 1) ] = [0.5(1), 0.5(6) ] = (0.5, 3 )
