Question

Question 1 Determine the midpoint of the segment with endpoint (-9,3) and (7,-8). Question 2

Answer 1

Answer:

m (-1, -2.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

x1=-9             x2=7             y1= 3            y2=-8

        -9+ 7        3+ -8

m= ------------ , -----------

            2             2

m= -2/2, -5/2

m (-1, -2.5)

Answer 2

Answer:

(-1, -2.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

the midpoint of a segment is $(\frac{x1+x2}{2} ,\frac{y1+y2}{2}$$)$, given points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

$midpoint=(\frac{-9+7}{2}, \frac{3-8}{2} )$ $= (\frac{-2}{2}, \frac{-5}{2} ) = (-1, -2.5)$
