Question

Where is the midpoint of ab when A(6,7) and B(-5,-9)​

Answer 1

The answer is

`( (1)/(2) \: , \: - 1)`

Explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

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

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

A(6,7) and B(-5,-9)

The midpoint is

`M = ( (6 - 5)/(2) \: , \: (7 - 9)/(2) ) \\ = ( (1)/(2) \: , \: - (2)/(2) )`

We have the final answer as

`( (1)/(2) \: , \: - 1)`

Hope this helps you
