Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints. (1/4,-4/9) and (-5/2,1/2). 21 points help me out

Answer 1

(-9/8, 1/36)

Explanation:

Midpoint Formula:
`((x_1+x_2)/(2) ,(y_1+y_2)/(2) )`

Step 1: Find midpoint x

x = (1/4 + -5/2)/2

x = (-9/4)/2

x = -9/8

Step 2: Find midpoint y

y = (-4/9 + 1/2)/2

y = (1/18)/2

y = 1/36

Step 3: Write midpoint coordinates

(-9/8, 1/36)
