Question

What is the midpoint of (-23,-14) and (-18,2)

Answer 1

Given two coordinates point 1 as (-23,-14) and point 2 as(-18,2).

To find the midpoint we would use the formula below;

$\text{midpoint(x,y)}=(\frac{x_1+x_2_{}_{}}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Where x1=-23, x2=-18, y1=-14, y2=2

We would substitute the values into the midpoint formula.

$\begin{gathered} \text{midpoint =(}\frac{-23-18}{2},\frac{-14+2}{2}) \\ =(-\frac{41}{2},-6) \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the answer is

$\text{midpoint}=(-\frac{41}{2},-6)$
