Question

1.3.18

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

$( - 3 \: , \frac{9}{2} )$

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

$M = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-2, - 1) and ( - 4,10)

So we have

$M = ( \frac{ - 2 - 4}{2} \: , \: \frac{ - 1 + 10}{2} ) \\ = ( - \frac{ 6}{2} \: , \: \frac{9}{2} )$

We have the final answer as

$( - 3 \: , \frac{9}{2} )$

Hope this helps you
