Question

d. 10.614. Find the midpoint between points X (10,-5) and Y (7,-4) to the nearest tentha. (8.5, 4.5)b. (17,-9)c. (17, -9)d. (8.5, -4.5)

Answer 1

d. (8.5, -4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the midpoint can be calculated as:

`((a+c)/(2),(b+d)/(2))`

Where (a, b) are the coordinates of the first point and (c, d) are the coordinates of the second point.

Then, replacing (a,b) by X(10, -5) and (c, d) by Y(7, -4), we get:

`\begin{gathered} ((10+7)/(2),(-5+(-4))/(2))_{} \\ ((17)/(2),(-9)/(2))_{} \\ (8.5,-4.5) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint are (8.5, -4.5)
