Question

Bennett was visiting five cities that lie on a coordinate grid at A(-2, 3), B(2, 7), C(7, 8),D(6, 3) and E(2, -1). What is the midpoint between A and E?

Answer 1

Remember that

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is given by

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

we have the points

A(-2, 3) and E(2, -1)

Find out the midpoint

Applying the formula above

`\begin{gathered} M((-2+2)/(2),(3-1)/(2)) \\ \\ M(0,1) \end{gathered}`

Therefore

The midpoint is (0,1)
