Question

30 points! need asap The endpoints of CD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ are C(5, 3) and D(−3,−6). Find the coordinates of the midpoint M. Coordinates of midpoint M:

Answer 1

mid point = 1, -1.5

Explanation:

mid point between two points C(5, 3) and D(-3, -6)

M = (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2

mid point = (5 + (-3)) / 2 , (3 + -6)/2

mid point = 2/2 , -3/2

mid point = 1, -1.5

Answer 2

The midpoint is ( 1, -1.5)

Explanation:

To find the midpoint

Add the x coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2 to get the x coordinate of the midpoint

(5+-3)/2 = 2/2 = 1

Add the y coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2 to get the y coordinate of the midpoint

(3+-6)/2 = -3/2 = -1.5

The midpoint is ( 1, -1.5)
