Question

Find the midpoint between each pair of points.(5,-7) and (8,-12)

Answer 1

Given the points A=(5,-7) and B=(8,-12), we can find the midpoint in the following way:

`\begin{gathered} M(A,B)=((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)) \\ \Rightarrow M(A,B)=((5+8)/(2),(-7-12)/(2)) \\ \Rightarrow M(A,B)=((13)/(2),-(19)/(2)) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the midpoint is (13/2,-19/2)
