Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of AS if A(-4, 7) and S(5,3).

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

$( \frac{1}{2} \: , \: 5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

$M = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

A(-4, 7) and S(5,3)

The midpoint is

$M = ( \frac{ - 4 + 5}{2} , \: \frac{7 + 3}{2} ) \\ = ( \frac{1}{2} , \: \frac{10}{2} )$

We have the final answer as

$( \frac{1}{2} \: , \: 5)$

Hope this helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{(0.5 \: , \: 5)}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A ( -4 , 7 ) be ( x₁ , y₁ ) and S ( 5 , 3 ) be ( x₂ , y₂ )

Finding the midpoint

$\boxed{ \sf{midpoint = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} \: , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2})}}$

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{( \frac{ - 4 + 5}{2} \: , \: \frac{7 + 3}{2}) }}$

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{( \frac{1}{2} \:, \: \frac{10}{2} }})$

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{( 0.5 \: , \: 5}})$
