Question

What point is halfway between (3,-1) and (8,-6)?

Answer 1

Answer:

(5.5, -3.5)

formula:

((x1+x2/2)+(y1+y2/2))

Answer 2

Answer:

$(\frac{11}{2} ,\frac{-7}{2} )$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Simply plug in your 2 coordinates into the midpoint formula to find midpoint:

$(\frac{3+8}{2} ,\frac{-1+-6}{2} )$

$(\frac{11}{2} ,\frac{-7}{2} )$
