Question

What is the midpoint of the segment with the two endpoints (4,-6) and (-2,-3)? Put your answers in decimal form, if applicable.

Answer 1

(1, -4.5)

Explanation:

Given points are: (4, -6) and (-2, -3)

`\implies x_1= 4,\:x_2= -2,\:y_1= -6,\:y_2= -3`

`mid\: point =\bigg((x_1+x_2)/(2),\: (y_1+y_2)/(2)\bigg)\\\\ = \bigg((4+(-2))/(2),\: (-6+(-3))/(2)\bigg)\\\\ = \bigg((4-2)/(2),\: (-6-3)/(2)\bigg)\\\\ = \bigg((2)/(2),\: (-9)/(2)\bigg)\\\\ = (1,\: -4.5)`
