WILL CHOOSE BRAINILEST!!! Find the midpoint of the line segment CD if C=(1,0) and D=(-7,2)

Answer:

Midpoint: (-0.5, -1)

Explanation:

Solution: M=(
x m,
ym)/2 or (
x+
x/2,
y+
y/2)

add the first
x coordinate plus the second
x coordinate

do the same for the two
y coordinates

then divide them both by 2

should look something like this: (1+0 /2, -7+2 /2)


x= 1+0= 1 / 2 + 0.5 or one half 1/2


y= -7+2= -5 / 2 = -2.5 or four one half -2 1/2

BUT we are not done here, since we cant divide 1/2 no more because it will still give us the same answer (0.5) we move into the next number, -2 1/2, -2 x 1/2 = -1

So our answer is (-0.5, -1)

hoped it helped! <3

~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ C(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad D(\stackrel{x_2}{-7}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ -7 + 1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 2 + 0}{2} \right)\implies \left(\cfrac{-6}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{2}{2} \right)\implies (-3~~,~~1)
