Question

P(-3,-5) and Q(1, -3) represent points in a coordinate plane. Find the midpoint of PQ.

Answer 1

Step by step explanation :

The two points are ,

• P( -3 , -5)
• Q (1 , -3)

We can find the midpoint by finding the median of x coordinate and y coordinate .

$\tt\to Midpoint = \bigg(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\bigg)\\\\\tt\to Midpoint =\bigg(\dfrac{-3+1}{2},\dfrac{-5-3}{2}\bigg)\\\\\tt\to Midpoint = \bigg( \dfrac{-2}{2},\dfrac{-8}{2}\bigg) \\\\\sf\to\boxed{\orange{\tt Midpoint = (-1,-4)}}$
