Question

Find the midpoint of pine DE if D(-5,-2) and E(7,-5)

Answer 1

Answer:

MP= (1,-3.5) or written another way MP= (1,$-\frac{7}{2}$)

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$MP= (\frac{-5+7}{2}),(\frac{-2+-5}{2})$  -5+7=2  -2+-5=7

$MP= (\frac{2}{2}),(\frac{-7}{2})$  2/2=1  -7/2=-3.5

$MP= (1,-3.5)$
