Question

Find the midpoint of the segment connecting (−1.8, 1.9) and (1.2, 2.7).

Answer 1

(-0.3, 2.3)

Explanation:

(-1.8+1.2)/2 = -0.3

(1.9+2.7)/2 = 2.3

Answer 2

( - 0.3 , 2.3 )

Explanation:

Let the points be A and B

A ( - 1.8 , 1.9 ) ⇒( x₁ , y₁ )

B ( 1.2 , 2.7 )⇒ ( x₂ , y₂ )

Now, let's find the midpoint:

`\mathsf{ ((x1 + x2)/(2) \: , (y1 + y2)/(2) )}`

Plug the values

`\mathsf{ = (( - 1.8 + 1.2)/(2) \: , (1.9 + 2.7)/(2) )}`

Calculate

`\mathsf{ = ( ( - 0.6)/(2) \: , (4.6)/(2) )}`

`\mathsf{ = (- 0.3 \:, 2.3)}`

Hope I helped!
