Question

What is the midpoint between (-8, 5) and (2,-2)?

Answer 1

Midpoint = (-3 , 3/2)

Explanation:

`(-8, 5) and (2,-2)\\Midpoint = ((x_1 +x_2)/(2) , (y_1+y_2)/(2) )\\x_1 = -8\\y_1 =5\\x_2 =2\\y_2 = -2\\Midpoint = ((-8+2)/(2) , (5 + (-2))/(2) )\\Midpoint = ((-6)/(2) , (3)/(2) )\\Midpoint = (-3 , 3/2 )`

Answer 2

Explanation:

(x₁ , y₁) = (-8 , 5)

(x₂ , y₂) = (2 , -2)

`Midpoint=((x_(1)+x_(2))/(2),(y_(1)+y_(2))/(2))\\\\=((-8+2)/(2),(5+(-2))/(2))\\\\=((-6)/(2),(3)/(2))\\\\=(-3,(3)/(2))`
