Given

The points,


P_1=(2.3,1.3),P_2=(-0.7,1.1)

To find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that,

The midpoint of the line segment joining two points is,


Mid-point=((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))

Since


P_1=(2.3,1.3),P_2=(-0.7,1.1)

Then,


\begin{gathered} Midpoint=((2.3-0.7)/(2),(1.3-1.1)/(2)) \\ =((0.6)/(2),(0.2)/(2)) \\ =(0.3,0.1) \end{gathered}

Hence, the midpoint of the line segment joining the given points is (0.3,0.1).
