Question

What is the midpoint of AB if A = (−2, 2) and B = (3, −1)? Enter your answer in the boxes below.

Answer 1

The answer is 0.5,0.5

Answer 2

`((1)/(2), (1)/(2))`

Explanation:

Since, the coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment having the endpoints
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2, y_2)` are,

`((x_1+x_2)/(2), (y_1+y_2)/(2))`

Here,

`x_1=-2, y_1=2, x_2 = 3, y_2=-1`

Hence, the coordinates of the midpoint of segment AB are,

`((-2+3)/(2),(2-1)/(2))`

`((1)/(2), (1)/(2))`
