Question

Midpoint of the segment between the points (−5,13) and (6,4)

Answer 1

Answer:
`(0.5,8.5)`

Explanation:

We need to use the following formula to find the Midpoint "M":

`M=((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

Given the points (-5,13) and (6,4) can identify that:

`x_1=-5\\x_2=6\\\\y_1=13\\y_2=4`

The final step is to substitute values into the formula.

Therefore, the midpoint of the segment between the points (-5,13) and (6,4) is:

`M=((-5+6)/(2),(13+4)/(2))\\\\M=((1)/(2),(17)/(2))\\\\M=(0.5,8.5)`

Answer 2

`((1)/(2),(17)/(2))`

Explanation:

Midpoint formula is

`( (x + x_1)/(2),(y + y_1)/(2))`

The given points are,

(-5,13) and (6,4)

`( (-5 + 6)/(2),(13+4)/(2))`

`( (1)/(2),(17)/(2))`

Hence the midpoint of the segment between (-5,13) and (6,4) is

`( (1)/(2),(17)/(2))`
