Question

Write the midpoint of the segment as an ordered pair (-3,2),(4,-5)

Answer 1

`\huge{ \bold{ \boxed{ \tt{( (1)/(2) \: ,\: \: ( - 3)/(2) )}}}}`

Explanation:

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

`\text{A( - 3 \: 2) } \longrightarrow \text{(x1 \: , y1)}`

`\text{B(4 \: - 5)} \longrightarrow \text{(x2 \:, y2)}`

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

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

`\sf{Midpoint = ( ( - 3 + 4)/(2) \: , (2 + ( - 5))/(2) })`

`\underline{ \text{Remember}} :`

`\text{( + ) * ( - ) = ( - )}`

`\text{( + ) \: * \: ( + ) = ( + )}`

`\text{( - ) \: * \: ( + ) = ( - )}`

`\text{( - ) \: * \: ( - ) = ( + )}`

`\sf{Midpoint = ( ( - 3 + 4)/(2) \:, (2 - 5)/(2)) }`

`\underline{ \text{Remember}}:`

• The positive integers are always added but 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

`\sf{Midpoint = ( (1)/(2) \: , ( - 3)/(2) )}`
