Question

Find the midpoint between each pair of points. (7,-2) and (-4,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

Midpoint: $(\frac{3}{2} ,0 )$

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint Formula: $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$

Step 1: Define variables

x₁ = 7

x₂ = -4

y₁ = -2

y₂ = 2

Step 2: Plug into midpoint formula

$(\frac{7-4}{2} ,\frac{-2+2}{2} )$

Step 3: Simplify/Evaluate

$(\frac{3}{2} ,\frac{0}{2} )$

$(\frac{3}{2} ,0 )$
