Question

B(7, 2) and C(-1,-9) are the endpoints of a line segment. What is the midpoint M of that line

segment?

Answer 1

(3,-3.5)

Explanation:

`Mid-point formula : \frac{ x_(1) +x_(2)} {2}, (y_(1)+y_(2) )/(2) \\\\x=(7+(-1))/(2) , y= (2+(-9))/(2) \\x= (6)/(2) , y= (-7)/(2) \\x=3 , y= -3.5`

Midpoint M of the line segment is (3,-3.5)
