Question

What is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (3.2,2.5) and (1.6,-4.5)?

Answer 1

(2.4, -1)

Explanation:

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

(3.2+1.6)/2 = 4.8/2 = 2.4

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

(2.5+-4.5)/2 = -2/2 = -1

(2.4, -1)

Answer 2

Midpoint: (2.4, -1)

Explanation:

Midpoint Formula:
`((x1+x2)/(2) , (y1+y2)/(2) )`

With that in mind,

(3.2 + 1.6)/2 = 2.4

(2.5 - 4.5)/2 = -1
