Question

Use the formula to find the midpoint between a segment with endpoints (0,5) and (-4, 6). *

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x₁ ,y₁) = (0 , 5)   & (x₂, y₂) = (-4 , 6)

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

               $= (\frac{0 - 4}{2} , \frac{5+6}{2}) \\\\= (\frac{-4}{2} , \frac{11}{2})\\\\=(-2 , 5.5)$

               

Answer 2

The mid-point is the average of the respective values for x and y.

So, the formula for the mid-point would be: $(\frac{x_{2} + x_{1}}{2}, \frac{y_{2} + y_{1}}{2})$

So for your problem this would be:$(\frac{-4}{2}, \frac{11}{2})$

So the final answer would be: $(-2, 5.5)$
