Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with end coordinates of: (-3,-1) and (-4,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

(- 3.5, 0.5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

( $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}$, $\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2}$ )

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, 2) , then

midpoint = ( $\frac{-3-4}{2}$, $\frac{-1+2}{2}$ ) = ( $\frac{-7}{2}$, $\frac{1}{2}$ ) = (- 3.5, 0.5 )
