Question

20. Find the midpoint between the given points.

Answer 1

Hi there! :)

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{(-1, -10.5)}$

Use the midpoint formula to solve for the midpoint:

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

Plug in the points:

$(x_{m}, y_{m}) = (\frac{-5+3 }{2} , \frac{-13 -8}{2})$

Simplify:

$(x_{m}, y_{m}) = (\frac{-2 }{2} , \frac{-21}{2})$

$(x_{m}, y_{m}) = (-1 , -10.5)$
