Question

Given: (−10,2) and (3,5), the midpoint is???

Answer 1

`\huge{ \boxed{ \sf{( ( - 7)/(2) \:, \: (7)/(2))}}}`

Explanation:

`\star{ \sf{Let \: the \: points \: be \: A \: and \: B}}`

`\sf{A( - 10 ,\: 2) \longrightarrow{ \: (x1 \:, y1)}}`

`\sf{B(3 \:, 5) \: \longrightarrow} \: \sf{(x2 \:, y2)}`

`\underline{ \text{Finding \: the \: midpoint}} :`

`\boxed{ \sf{Midpoint \: = \: ( (x1 + x2)/(2) \: , (y1 + y2)/(2) )}}`

`\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( ( - 10 + 3)/(2) \: , (2 + 5)/(2) }})`

`\text{Remember!} :`

• The positive integers are always added and posses the positive ( + ) sign.
• The negative integers are always added but posses the negative ( - ) sign.
• The negative and positive integers are always subtracted but posses the sign of the bigger integer.

`\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( ( - 7)/(2) , \: (7)/(2) }})`

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
