Question

Find the midpoint of R(5,3) and S(-4,6)

Answer 1

(1/2, 9/2)

Explanation:

Using the midpoint formula

`\left((-4+5)/(2),\:(6+3)/(2)\right)`

=
`\left((1)/(2),\:(9)/(2)\right)`

Answer 2

Mid point is (0.5, 4.5)

Explanation:

Formular:

`{ \bf{mid - point = ( (x_(1) + x _(2) )/(2), \: (y_(1) + y_(2) )/(2) ) }}`

x1 is 5

x2 is -4

y1 is 3

y2 is 6

`{ \sf{mid - point = ( ( 5 + ( - 4))/(2), \: (3 + 6)/(2) ) }} \\ \\ = { \sf{( (1)/(2) , \: (9)/(2) )}} \\ \\ = ({ \sf{0.5, \: 4.5)}}`
