Question

please help find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints. (4,0) and (-2,-3) the midpoint is???

Answer 1

(1, -1.5).

Explanation:

The midpoint of a segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the following formula:

((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)

So, for the given endpoints (4,0) and (-2,-3), the midpoint is:

((4 + (-2))/2, (0 + (-3))/2) = (1, -1.5)

The midpoint of the segment is (1, -1.5).

Answer 2

(1, - 1.5 )

Explanation:

given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then

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

here (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 2, - 3 ) , then

midpoint = (
`(4-2)/(2)` ,
`(0-3)/(2)` ) = (
`(2)/(2)` ,
`(-3)/(2)` ) = (1, - 1.5 )
