Question

What is the midpoint of a segment in the complex plane with endpoints at 3 – 2i and 17 – 8i?

Answer 1

10-5i

Explanation:

Answer 2

In the complex plane, the two given points are represented by
`(3,-2)` and
`(17,-8)`. The midpoint would then be


`\left(\frac{3+17}2,\frac{-2+(-8)}2\right)=(10,-5)`

which represents the complex number
`10-5i`.
