Question

PLZ HELP NNOOOOOOOWW!! 15 points!!

What is the midpoints of the line segment with endpoints (-3,7) and (9,-2)?

Answer 1

the midpoint of the line having the endpoints
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)` is
`((x_(1)+_x_(2))/(2), (y_(1)+_y_(2))/(2))`
basically average them


so given that the line has the endpoints of (-3,7) and (9,-2)
x₁=-3
y₁=7
x₂=9
y₂=-2

so the midpoint can be found by doing

`((-3+9)/(2), (7+(-2))/(2))=`

`((6)/(2), (7-2)/(2))=`

`(3, (5)/(2))`

the midpoint is
`(3,(5)/(2))`
