Question

Find the midpoint between each pair of points. (-3,-9) and (-4,6)

Answer 1

Given points A and B, we know that the general rule to find the midpoint is:

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

In this case, since A=(-3,-9) and B=(-4,6), we get:

`\begin{gathered} M(A,B)=((-3-4)/(2),(-9+6)/(2)) \\ \Rightarrow M(A,B)=(-(7)/(2),-(3)/(2)) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the midpoint is (-7/2,-3/2)
