Question

Find the midpoint between (0,0) and (-4,-12) (29) and (5,1)

Answer 1

Answer:

-2, -6

$\frac{7}{2}$ , 5

Explanation:

Given coordinates;

        (0,0) and (-4,-12)

        (2, 9) and (5,1)

Unknown:

Midpoints of the coordinates = ?

Solution:

The coordinates of the midpoint are given as;

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

Now;

x₁= 0  x₂ = -4  y₁ = 0     y₂ = -12

  Input the parameters and solve;

    x$_{m}$, y$_{m}$ = $\frac{0+(-4)}{2}$  ,  $\frac{0+ (-12)}{2}$ = -2, -6

For  (2, 9) and (5,1)

x₁= 2  x₂ = 5  y₁ = 9     y₂ = 1

   x$_{m}$, y$_{m}$ = $\frac{2 + 5}{2}$ , $\frac{9 + 1}{2}$  = $\frac{7}{2}$ , 5
