Question

P(-3,-5) and Q(1, -3) represent points in a coordinate
plane. Find the midpoint of PQ.

Answer 1

Step by step explanation :

The two points are ,

• P( -3 , -5)
• Q (1 , -3)

We can find the midpoint by finding the median of x coordinate and y coordinate .

`\tt\to Midpoint = \bigg((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)\bigg)\\\\\tt\to Midpoint =\bigg((-3+1)/(2),(-5-3)/(2)\bigg)\\\\\tt\to Midpoint = \bigg( (-2)/(2),(-8)/(2)\bigg) \\\\\sf\to\boxed{\orange{\tt Midpoint = (-1,-4)}}`
