Question

Point A is at (-1,-9) and Point B is at (2,4). What is the midpoint of line segment AB

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is (1/2, -5/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A = (-1, -9)

B = (2, 4)

Formula of midpoint

   Xm = (x1 + x2) / 2

   Ym = (y1 + y2)/2

x1 = -1    y1 = -9    x2 = 2  y2 = 4

To solve this problem just substitute the values in the formula and simplify.

   Xm = (-1 + 2) / 2

   Ym = (-9 + 4) / 2

-Simplify

  Xm = 1/2

  Ym = -5/2

-Solution

 Midpoint (1/2, -5/2)

Answer 2

Answer:

Midpoint( .5,-2.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint, add the x coordinates and divide by 2 and then add the y coordinates and divide by 2

x:  (-1+2)/2 = 1/2=.5

y: (-9+4)/2 = -5/2 = -2.5

Midpoint( .5,-2.5)
