Question

Given A= (-5,-4) and B=(-3,-3), what is the midpoint of segment AB

Answer 1

Answer:

mid point of segment AB=-4,-3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

mid point segment AB=$\frac{X_1+X_2}{2},\frac{Y_1+Y_2}{2}$

mid point of segment AB=$\frac{-5+(-3)}{2},\frac{-4+(-3))}{2}$

mid point of segment AB=$\frac{-8}{2},\frac{-7}{2}$

mid point of segment AB=-4,$\frac{-7}{2}$

mid point of segment AB=-4,-3.5 answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The required midpoints are (-4, -3.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the endpoints are A( -5, -4) and B ( -3, -3)-

As we know that-

If a line segment AB is with endpoints ( $x_{1},y_{1}$ ) and  ( $x_{2}, y_{2}$ ) then the mid points C are-  

C = ( $\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}} {2}$  ,   $\frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2}$ )

Here,

A ( -5, -4 ) and B ( -3, -3 )

then the midpoints C are-

C = (  $\frac{-5 + (-3)}{2}$, $\frac{-4 + (-3)}{2}$

C= ( -8/2 , -7/2 )

C = ( -4, -3.5 )

Hence the required midpoints are (-4, -3.5).
