Question

Midpoint of AB with A(-3, 5) and B(1, 7).

Answer 1

(- 1, 6 )

Explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

[
`(1)/(2)` (x₁ + x₂ ),
`(1)/(2)` (y₁ + y₂ ) ]

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = A(- 3, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(1, 7) , thus

midpoint = [
`(1)/(2)` (- 3 + 1 ),
`(1)/(2)` (5 + 7) ] = (- 1, 6 )
