Which is the midpoint of the segment joining (12, 2) and (-5, – 7)?

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$m(x, y)=(\frac{7}{2} , -\frac{5}{2} )$

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint of line segment is calculated as

$m(x, y)=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$ -----------(1)

Here

$(x_1, y_1) = (12,2) \ \ and \ \ (x_2, y_2) = (-5, -7)$

Substituting values in equation (1)

$m(x, y)=(\frac{12-5}{2} , \frac{2-7}{2} )$

$m(x, y)=(\frac{7}{2} , -\frac{5}{2} )$
