Question

What is the midpoint of segment shown below (2,4) (2,-7)

Answer 1

(2, - 1.5 )

Explanation:

Given a segment with endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

(
`(x_(1)+x_(2) )/(2)`,
`(y_(1)+y_(2) )/(2)` )

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 7 ) , then

midpoint = (
`(2+2)/(2)`,
`(4-7)/(2)` ) = (
`(4)/(2)`,
`(-3)/(2)` ) = (2, - 1.5 )

Answer 2
