Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints. G(5, –4) and H(11, 0)

Answer 1

`~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ G(\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-4})\qquad H(\stackrel{x_2}{11}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{0}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ 11 +5}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 0 -4}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ 16 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -4 }{2} \right)\implies (8~~,~~-2)`
