Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points p1 and p2 P1=(3,-5);p2=(5,-1)

Answer 1

Find mid pt formula is
$x \: intercept \: \frac{x {}^{2} + x{}^{1} }{2} \\ y \: intercept\frac{y {}^{2} + y {}^{1} }{2}$
so the answer is
$x \: intercept \: \\ \frac{3 + 5}{2} = 4$
$y \: intercept \: \\ \frac{( - 5) + ( - 1)}{ 2} = - 3$
mid pt is (4,-3)
