Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint M and the distance between L(-4,5) and N(5,-3). Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Answer 1

Explanation

x1 = X sub-one, y1 = Y sub-one, x2 = x sub-two, y2 = y sub-two

Midpoint Formula

M (x1 + x2/2, y1 + y2)/2)

-4 = x1, 5 = y1 and 5 = x2, -3 = y2

L(-4,5) and N (5,-3)

-4 + 5/2 = 1/2 or 0.5

5 + (-3)/2 = 2/2 = 1

Midpoint : (1/2, 1)
