Question

What is the midpoint of a segment with endpoints (-3, 2) and (7, -5)?

Answer 1

`(2,-1.5)`

Explanation:

The midpoint formula goes as follows:

`(x,y)=((x1+x2)/(2) , (y1+y2)/(2))`

Lets plug in our values, let x1 be -3, x2 be 7, y1 be 2, y2 be -5.

`((-3+7)/(2) , (2+-5)/(2))`

Solve numerators

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

Solve

`(2 , -1.5)`

Therefore the midpoint must be at
`(2,-1.5)`
