Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with the given endpoints: (3.1, -2.1) and (-0.52, -0.6).

Answer 1

The midpoint is (1.29,-1.35)

Explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, average the x coordinates of the endpoints

(3.1+-.52)/2 =2.58/2=1.29

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, average the y coordinates of the endpoints

(-2.1+-.6)/2 =-2.7/2=-1.35

The midpoint is (1.29,-1.35)
