Question

using the midpoint formula find the coordinates of the midpoint 9f each sigment with end points (4,2),(-5,-1)​

Answer 1

The midpoint of the segment is (-0.5,0.5).

Explanation:

Midpoint of a segment:

The midpoint of a segment is given by the mean of its coordinates.

Segment with end points (4,2),(-5,-1)​

x-coordinates: 4 and -5

y-coordinates: 2 and -1

x-coordinate of the midpoint:

`x = (4-5)/(2) = -(1)/(2) = -0.5`

y-coordinate of the midpoint:

`y = (2-1)/(2) = (1)/(2) = 0.5`

The midpoint of the segment is (-0.5,0.5).
