Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints.

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

Answer 1

(-1, -1/2)

Explanation:

You want the midpoint of the segment with endpoints (-3, -3) and (1, 2).

Midpoint

The coordinates of the midpoint are the average of the coordinates of the endpoints:

M = (A +B)/2

M = ((-3, -3) +(1, 2))/2 = (-3+1, -3+2)/2 = (-2, -1)/2

M = (-1, -1/2) = (-1, -0.5)

The midpoint coordinates are (-1, -1/2).

Additional comment

If you are asked for the decimal coordinates, they are (-1, -0.5).
