To find the midpoint of a segment with endpoints Q(2.2, 8.5) and R(9.4, 3), apply the midpoint formula, resulting in the midpoint coordinates (5.8, 5.75).

To find the coordinates of the midpoint M of a segment with given endpoints Q(2.2, 8.5) and R(9.4, 3), we use the midpoint formula: M = ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2).

Using the coordinates from Q and R, the calculations are as follows:


  • x-coordinate of M = (2.2 + 9.4) / 2 = 11.6 / 2 = 5.8

  • y-coordinate of M = (8.5 + 3) / 2 = 11.5 / 2 = 5.75

The midpoint M therefore has coordinates (5.8, 5.75).

the coordinates of the midpoint M between Q(2.2, 8.5) and R(9.4, 3) are (5.8, 5.75).
