Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints. (2,9) and (9,4)

Answer 1

The midpoint is (11/2, 13/2)

Answer 2

Answer:

(5.5, 6.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints, we need to use the midpoint formula which is:

                                            $(\frac{x1+x2}{2} , \frac{y1+y2}{2} )$

Then, we simply just plug the 2 endpoints given into this equation

• x1 = 2
• x2 = 9
• y1 = 9
• y2 = 4

• ($\frac{2+9}{2} , \frac{9+4}{2}$)
• ($\frac{11}{2} , \frac{13}{2}$)
• (5.5, 6.5)

(5.5, 6.5) is the midpoint of the segment of the 2 endpoints
