Question

Use the formula to find the midpoint between a segment with endpoints
(0,5) and (-4, 6). *

Answer 1

The mid-point is the average of the respective values for x and y.

So, the formula for the mid-point would be:
`((x_(2) + x_(1))/(2), (y_(2) + y_(1))/(2))`

So for your problem this would be:
`((-4)/(2), (11)/(2))`

So the final answer would be:
`(-2, 5.5)`

Answer 2

Explanation:

(x₁ ,y₁) = (0 , 5) & (x₂, y₂) = (-4 , 6)

`Midpoint = ((x_(1)+x_(2))/(2), (y_(1)+y_(2))/(2))\\\\`

`= ((0 - 4)/(2) , (5+6)/(2)) \\\\= ((-4)/(2) , (11)/(2))\\\\=(-2 , 5.5)`
