Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints. (4,-4) and (7,-1)

Answer 1

The midpoint is (5.5 , - 2.5)

Explanation:

To get the midpoint of the line segment, we use the midpoint formula

We have this as follows;

(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2

(x1,y1) = (4,-4)

(x2,y2) = (7,-1)

We have;

(x,y) = (4+7)/2 , (-4-1)/2

(x,y) = 11/2 , -5/2

(x,y) = (5.5, -2.5)
