Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points p1 and p2
P1=(3,-5);p2=(5,-1)

Answer 1

find mid pt formula is

`x \: intercept \: \frac{x {}^(2) + x{}^(1) }{2} \\ y \: intercept\frac{y {}^(2) + y {}^(1) }{2}`
so the answer is

`x \: intercept \: \\ (3 + 5)/(2) = 4`

`y \: intercept \: \\ (( - 5) + ( - 1))/( 2) = - 3`
mid pt is (4,-3)
