Question

Find midpoint (-2/5, 1/2) and (-1/6, -3/4)

Answer 1

M = ( −17/60 , −1/8 )

Answer 2

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-\frac{2}{5}}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{\frac{1}{2}})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-\frac{1}{6}}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-\frac{3}{4}}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right)$

$\bf \left( \cfrac{~~-\frac{1}{6}-\frac{2}{5}~~}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{~~-\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{2}~~}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{~~\frac{-5-12}{30}~~}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{~~\frac{-3+2}{4}~~}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{~~\frac{-17}{30}~~}{\frac{2}{1}}~~,~~\cfrac{~~\frac{-1}{4}~~}{\frac{2}{1}} \right)\implies \left( -\frac{17}{60}~~,~~-\frac{1}{8} \right)$
