Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are the given points. (-24.6, 38.1) and (-25.7, -17.7)

Answer 1

Midpoint is
`(-25.15,10.2)`

Explanation:

A line segment refers to line that has two endpoints.

Let
`(a,b),(c,d)` be the endpoints of a line segment.

Midpoint of the line segment is given by
`((a+c)/(2) ,(b+d)/(2))`

Take the given points as follows:

`(a,b)=(-24.6,38.1)\\(c,d)=(-25.7,-17.7)`

Midpoint of a line segment
`=((-24.6-25.7)/(2),(28.1-17.7)/(2))`

`=((-50.3)/(2) ,(20.4)/(2) )\\=(-25.15,10.2)`
