Question

(2.5,-7) (-6.2, -3.8) find the midpoint for each segment with the given endpoints

Answer 1

Given the endpoints of the segment as;

`\mleft(2.5,-7\mright),(-6.2,-3.8)`

The formula to find the midpoints can be seen below.

`M=((x_1+x_2))/(2);\frac{_{}(y_1+y_2)}{2}`

From the question,

`\begin{gathered} x_1=2.5_{} \\ x_2=-6.2 \\ y_1=-7 \\ y_2=-3.8 \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} M=(2.5+(-6.2))/(2);(-7+(-3.8))/(2) \\ M=(-1.85,5.4) \end{gathered}`

Answer:

`M=(-1.85,5.4)`
