Question

3 of 5

Find the midpoint of the line segment with end coordinates of:
(-3,-1) and (-4, 2)
Give coordinates as decimals where appropriate.

Answer 1

(-3.5, 0.5)

Explanation:

Midpoint Formula

• M (x, y) = (x₁ + x₂ / 2, y₁ + y₂ / 2)

Solving

• M (x, y) = (-3 - 4 / 2, 2 - 1 / 2)
• M (x, y) = (-7/2, 1/2)
• M = (-3.5, 0.5)
