Question

What is the mid-point of the segment (3, 7) and (2, -1)

Answer 1

Answer:

(2.5, 3)

Explanation:

This question requires using the midpoint formula.

(formula is attached below as an image for better understanding)

First identify which values correspond with which variables in the formula:

First coordinate: (3, 7)

x_1 = 3

y_1 = 7

Second coordinate: (2, -1)

x_2 = 2

y_2 = -1

Now we plug the values into the formula and simplify:

((3+2)/2, (7-1)/2)

(5/2, 6/2)

(5/2, 3)

(2.5, 3
