Question

Jonathan would like to find the midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints F(–10.5, 3) and G(8, 6.5). The x-coordinate is. The y-coordinate is.

Answer 1

-1.25 and 4.75 are your answers. 

Answer 2

Answer:

The x-coordinate is -1.25

The y-coordinate is 4.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Jonathan would like to find the midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints.

F(-10.5,3) and G(8,6.5)

Let mid-point of FG be M(x,y)

We need to find the mid-point of FG.

Formula:

$(x,y)\rightarrow (\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

$x_1\rightarrow -10.5$

$x_2\rightarrow 8$

$y_1\rightarrow 3$

$y_2\rightarrow 6.5$

$(M(x,y)\rightarrow (\dfrac{-10.5+8}{2},\dfrac{3+6.5}{2})$

$(M(x,y)\rightarrow (-1.25,4.75)$

Hence, The x-coordinate is -1.25 and The y-coordinate is 4.75
