Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment from (-4,-3) to (3,3)

Answer 1

The correct answer is (-1/2, 2)

Answer 2

It is (-0.5, 0)

Explanation:

Mid-point formular:

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

x1 is -4

x2 is 3

y1 is -3

y2 is 3

`{ \sf{ = ( ( - 4 + 3)/(2) , \: ( - 3 + 3)/(2)) }} \\ \\ { \sf{ = ( - (1)/(2) , \: (0)/(2)) }} \\ \\ = { \sf{( - 0.5, \: 0)}}`
