Question

What is the midpoint between (-8,5) and (2,-2)?

Answer 1

Answer:

the midpoint between (8,5) and (2,-2) is P(5,1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The midpoint between (-8,5) and (2,-2) is (-3, 1.5)

Solution:

Given that two points are (-8,5) and (2,-2)  

Here, $x_{1}=-8 ; y_{1}=5 ; \mathrm{} x_{2}=2 ; y_{2}=-2$

To find the mid-point values we use the given formula,

Midpoint for x = $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}$

Midpoint for  y = $\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}$

Here we have to find out the mid-point between (-8,5) and (2,-2). Substituting the values, we get

Midpoint for x = $\frac{-8+2}{2} = \frac{-6}{2}$ = -3

Thus midpoint for x = -3

Midpoint for $y= \frac{5-2}{2} = \frac{3}{2}$ = 1.5

Thus midpoint for y = 1.5

Therefore the midpoint between (-8,5) and (2,-2) = (-3, 1.5)
