Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are the given points. (-24.6, 38.1) and (-25.7, -17.7)

Answer 1

Answer:

Midpoint is$(-25.15,10.2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

A line segment refers to line that has two endpoints.

Let $(a,b),(c,d)$ be the endpoints of a line segment.

Midpoint of the line segment is given by $(\frac{a+c}{2} ,\frac{b+d}{2})$

Take the given points as follows:

$(a,b)=(-24.6,38.1)\\(c,d)=(-25.7,-17.7)$

Midpoint of a line segment $=(\frac{-24.6-25.7}{2},\frac{28.1-17.7}{2})$

$=(\frac{-50.3}{2} ,\frac{20.4}{2} )\\=(-25.15,10.2)$
