Question

Find the coordinates M (x, y) of the midpoint of the line segment , given P (– 7, 3) and Q (5, – 9)

Answer 1

The midpoint of the line segment PQ is (-1, -3).

Midpoint formula:

`(x_(1)+ x_(2) )/(2)` ,
`( y_(1) + y_(2) )/(2)`


`(-7+5)/(2)` ,
`(3+(-9))/(2)`


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

(-1, -3)
