Question

Jonathan would like to find the midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints F(–10.5, 3) and G(8, 6.5). The x-coordinate is. The y-coordinate is.

Answer 1

-1.25 and 4.75 are your answers. 

Answer 2

The x-coordinate is -1.25

The y-coordinate is 4.75

Explanation:

Jonathan would like to find the midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints.

F(-10.5,3) and G(8,6.5)

Let mid-point of FG be M(x,y)

We need to find the mid-point of FG.

Formula:

`(x,y)\rightarrow ((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

`x_1\rightarrow -10.5`

`x_2\rightarrow 8`

`y_1\rightarrow 3`

`y_2\rightarrow 6.5`

`(M(x,y)\rightarrow ((-10.5+8)/(2),(3+6.5)/(2))`

`(M(x,y)\rightarrow (-1.25,4.75)`

Hence, The x-coordinate is -1.25 and The y-coordinate is 4.75
