Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with the given endpoints. (5,0), (2, -2)

Answer 1

The coordinates of the midpoint are the average of the coordinates of the endpoints.

So, the x coordinate of the midpoint is

$\dfrac{5+2}{2}=\dfrac{7}{2}$

And the y coordinate of the midpoint is

$\dfrac{0-2}{2}=-1$

So, the midpoint is the point

$\left(\dfrac{7}{2},-1\right)$

Answer 2

Answer:

Mid point of line segment with endpoints (5,0) (2,-2)

Here 2 x coordinates are 5 and 2

Here 2 y coordinates are 0 and -2

So, You have to just add x coordinates or y coordinates and make it divide by 2 to find x and y coordinates of mid point

So, x coordinate = (5+2)/2 = 7/2

y coordinate = 0 -2)/2 = -1
