Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (6,1) and (-2, -1).

Answer 1

`\[x_(m)=(x_1+x_2)/(2)</p><p>\] \\ \[y_(m)=(y_1+y_2)/(2)</p><p>\]`

All you have to do is plug in the coordinates...

Answer 2

Explanation:

By the formula of slope, we have

`( (y _(2) - y_(1) )/(x _2 - x _(1) )) \\ ( ( - 1 - 1)/( - 2 - 6) ) \\ ( ( - 2)/( - 8) ) \\ ( (1)/(4) )`
