Question

Find the MIDPOINT of the following two points:

(3,-1) (2,4)



Type your answer as an ordered pair.

Answer 1

Answer: (2.5 ; 1.5 )

Explanation:

• The midpoint of the segment with the points
  `\bf ( x_1 \ ; \ y_ 1)` and
  `\bf (x_2 \ ; \ y_2)` is calculated by the formula:

• 
  `\bf (x _0 \ \ ; \ \ y _0) = \bigg((x_1+x_2)/(2) \ ; \ (y_1+y_2)/(2) \bigg)`

• Then :

• 
  `\bf (x_0 \ ; \ y_ 0)=\bigg( (3+2)/(2) \ \ ; (4-1)/(2) \bigg) =( 2.5 \ \ ; \ \ 1,5 )`
