Question

find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints. Y(-13,8) and Z (2,-10)​

Answer 1

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ Y(\stackrel{x_1}{-13}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{8})\qquad Z(\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-10}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{2-13}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-10+8}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{-11}{2}~,~\cfrac{-2}{2} \right)\implies \left(-5\frac{1}{2}~,~-1 \right)$
