Question

Find the midpoint between the two points (5, -7) and (-3, -9).

(4,1)
(1, -8)
(2, 16)
(-4, -1)

Answer 1

Mid points is ( 1 , -8)

Explanation:

Given the co-ordinates as (5 , -7) and (-3 , -9)

x1 = 5 x2 = -3

y1 = -7 y2 = -9

Mid point formula

(
`((x1 + x2))/(2)` and
`((y1 + y2))/(2)`

So,
`((5 -3))/(2)` and
`((-7 -9))/(2)`

or ,
`(2)/(2)` and
`(-16)/(2)`

or, ( 1 , -8)

Hence the mid point for given points is (1, -8) Answer
