Question

using the midpoint formula find the coordinates of the midpoint 9f each sigment with end points (4,2),(-5,-1)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The midpoint of the segment is (-0.5,0.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint of a segment:

The midpoint of a segment is given by the mean of its coordinates.

Segment with end points (4,2),(-5,-1)​

x-coordinates: 4 and -5

y-coordinates: 2 and -1

x-coordinate of the midpoint:

$x = \frac{4-5}{2} = -\frac{1}{2} = -0.5$

y-coordinate of the midpoint:

$y = \frac{2-1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

The midpoint of the segment is (-0.5,0.5).
