Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with the given endpoints: (negative-5.1, negative-2) and (1.4, 1.7).

Answer 1

$\bf \textit{middle point of 2 points }\\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) &({{ -5}}\quad ,&{{ -2}})\quad % (c,d) &({{ 1.4}}\quad ,&{{ 1.7}}) \end{array}\qquad % coordinates of midpoint \left(\cfrac{{{ x_2}} + {{ x_1}}}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{{{ y_2}} + {{ y_1}}}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{{{ 1.4}} + {{ (-5)}}}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{{{ 1.7}} + {{(-2)}}}{2} \right)$
