Find the midpoint of the line segment defined by the points: (5, 4) and (−2, 1) (2.5, 1.5) (3.5, 2.5) (1.5, 2.5) (3.5, 1.5)

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf (1.5 , 2.5)}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint is the point that bisects a line segment or divides it into 2 equal halves. The formula is essentially finding the average of the 2 points.

$(\frac {x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac {y_1+ y_2}{2})$

In this formula, (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the 2 endpoints of the line segment. For this problem, these are (5,4 ) and (-2, 1).

x₁= 5
y₁= 4
x₂= -2
y₂= 1

Substitute these values into the formula.

$( \frac {5+ -2}{2}, \frac {4+1}{2})$

Solve the numerators.

5+ -2 = 5-2 = 3
4+1 = 5

$( \frac {3}{2}, \frac{5}{2})$

Convert the fractions to decimals.

$(1.5, 2.5)$

The midpoint of the line segment is (1.5 , 2.5)

Fitness Explosion charges $26 per month for a membership. Fitquest charges $15 per month plus a $55 initiation fee for membershi

hjlf

So after one month, FE (fitness explosion) costs $26 and Fitquest is $70; two months it's FE = $52, FQ = $85; three months it's FE = $78, FQ = $100; four months FE = $104, FQ = $115; five months FE = $130, FQ = $130. So answer C. 5 months is correct.
