Question

Find the midpoint of CD.
C = (-3,4) and D = (5,-8)

Answer 1

`~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-8}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ 5 -3}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -8 + 4}{2} \right)\implies \left(\cfrac{2}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-4}{2} \right)\implies (1~~,~~-2)`
