Question

What is the midpoint of the segment below? (3,5)(-6,-6)

Answer 1

Answer:

the midpoint of segment is: $(\frac{-3}{2},\frac{-1}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the midpoint of the segment (3,5) and (-6,-6)

Using the midpoint formula:

$Midpoint=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{y})$

here x₁ = 3, x₂= -6, y₁=5 and y₂=-6

Putting values and finding the midpoint:

$Midpoint=(\frac{3+(-6)}{2},\frac{5+(-6)}{2})\\Midpoint=(\frac{3-6}{2},\frac{5-6}{2})\\Midpoint=(\frac{-3}{2},\frac{-1}{2})$

So, the midpoint of segment is: $(\frac{-3}{2},\frac{-1}{2})$
