Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment having the given endpoints.

Q(0.3, 1.8), R(2.7, 3.9)
Question 6 options:

(1.5, 2.85)

(1.05, 3.3)

(–1.2, –1.05)

(–2.4, –2.1)

Answer 1

(1.5, 2.85)

Explanation:

Q (0.3, 1.8) R (2.7, 3.9)

X1- First # in the first parenthesis

X2- First # in the second parenthesis

Y1- Second number in first parenthesis

Y2- Second # in second parenthesis

To solve this you take X1 and add it to X2 and divide that by 2 then you take Y1 and add it to Y2 and divide that by 2

So, (0.3, 1.8) 0.3 is X1 and 1.8 is Y1 (2.7, 3.9) 2.7 is X2 and 3.9 s Y2

So, you would add 0.3+ 2.7 and you get 3 so you divide that by 2 and get 1.5

then you would add 1.8+3.9 and get 5.7 so you divide that by 2 and get 2.85

So, your answer is (1.5, 2.85).

I really Hope this helps. I hope it isn't confusing
