Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of HX. H(4 1/2, -3 1/4), x(2 1/4, -1 1/4)​

Answer 1

Answer:

(3 $\frac{3}{8}$, - 2 $\frac{1}{4}$ )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the midpoint formula

[0.5(x₁ + x₂ ), 0.5(y₁ + y₂ ) ]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4 $\frac{1}{2}$, - 3 $\frac{1}{4}$ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2 $\frac{1}{4}$, - 1 $\frac{1}{4}$ )

The coordinates of the midpoint of HX

= 0.5(4 $\frac{1}{2}$ + 2 $\frac{1}{4}$ , - 3$\frac{1}{4}$ - 1 $\frac{1}{4}$)

= 0.5 ( 6 $\frac{3}{4}$, - 4 $\frac{1}{2}$ )

= (3 $\frac{3}{8}$, - 2 $\frac{1}{4}$ )
