Question

Calculate the midpoint between (2,-5) and (4, -7).

Answer 1

The midpoint between (2,-5) and (4, -7)  is Option D.(3-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Points (2,-5) and (4, -7)

To Find:

Midpoint of the points=?

Solution:

The midpoint that lies between the two points is given by

$(x_m, y_m) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Where

$(x_m, y_m)$= coordinates of the midpoint

$(x_1, y_1)$= coordinates of the first point

$(x_2, y_2)$= coordinates of the second point

we have,

$x_1= 2$

$y_1= -5$

$x_2= 4$

$y_2= -5$

Substituting the values in the mid point formula,

$(x,y)=(\frac{(2+4)}{2},\frac{(-5-7)}{2})$

$(x,y)=(\frac{(6)}{2},\frac{(-12)}{2})$

(x,y)=(3,-6)
