Question

9. Find the midpoint of the segment having endpoints (4.1,−6.6) and (6.6,−4.1).

Answer 1

Answer:
`\displaystyle (5.35, -5.35)`

Explanation:

We will use the midpoint formula. See attached or view below.

What does this formula do? We are, essentially, finding the average for the x-values and y-values.

`\displaystyle ((x_(1)+x_(2) )/(2), (y_(1)+y_(2) )/(2) )`

`\displaystyle ((4.1+6.6)/(2), (-6.6+-4.1)/(2) )`

`\displaystyle ((10.7)/(2), (-10.7)/(2) )`

`\displaystyle (5.35, -5.35)`
