Question

What is the midpoint of MN with endpoints M(9, -2) and N(-2, -6)

Answer 1

(
`3(1)/(2)`, -4)

Explanation:

By the midpoint formula,
`((x_(2)+x_(1) )/(2),(y_(2)+y_(1) )/(2))`,
`((-2+(9))/(2), (-6+(-2))/(2) )` = (
`(7)/(2)` , -4)
Therefore, the midpoint of (9,-2), and (-2,-6) is (
`(7)/(2)\\`,-4) or (
`3(1)/(2)` , -4).
