Question

Given A= (-5,-4) and B=(-3,-3), what is the midpoint of segment AB

Answer 1

Answer:

mid point of segment AB=-4,-3.5

Explanation:

mid point segment AB=
`(X_1+X_2)/(2),(Y_1+Y_2)/(2)`

mid point of segment AB=
`(-5+(-3))/(2),(-4+(-3)))/(2)`

mid point of segment AB=
`(-8)/(2),(-7)/(2)`

mid point of segment AB=-4,
`(-7)/(2)`

mid point of segment AB=-4,-3.5 answer

Answer 2

The required midpoints are (-4, -3.5).

Explanation:

Given that the endpoints are A( -5, -4) and B ( -3, -3)-

As we know that-

If a line segment AB is with endpoints (
`x_(1),y_(1)` ) and (
`x_(2), y_(2)` ) then the mid points C are-

C = (
`\frac{x_(1) + x_(2)} {2}` ,
`(y_(1) + y_(2) )/(2)` )

Here,

A ( -5, -4 ) and B ( -3, -3 )

then the midpoints C are-

C = (
`(-5 + (-3))/(2)`,
`(-4 + (-3))/(2)`

C= ( -8/2 , -7/2 )

C = ( -4, -3.5 )

Hence the required midpoints are (-4, -3.5).
