Question

Find the midpoint of the segment between the points (1, 1) and (4, -16)

Answer 1

Answer:

The midpoint is (5/2, -15/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x coordinates

(1+4)/2 = 5/2

The y coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x coordinates

(1+-16)/2 = -15/2

The midpoint is (5/2, -15/2)
