Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with end coordinates of: ( − 2 , − 4 ) and ( − 1 , − 5 ) Give coordinates as decimals where appropriate.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given: Points = ( -2 ,-4) and ( -1 , -5 ).

To Find: Mid-Point of line segment joining them.

Solution:

The end points of line segment are (− 1 , − 6 ) and ( 4 , 5 ).

Midpoint =

{(x+x1)/2, (y+y1)/2}

= {(-2 + -1)/2 , (-4+ -5)/2 }

= (-1.5, -4.5)

= (-1.5, -4.5)
