Question

What is the midpoint of the segment with the two endpoints (4,-6) and (-2,-3)? Put your answers in decimal form, if applicable.

Answer 1

Answer:

(1, -4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are: (4, -6) and (-2, -3)

$\implies x_1= 4,\:x_2= -2,\:y_1= -6,\:y_2= -3$

$mid\: point =\bigg(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\: \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\bigg)\\\\ = \bigg(\frac{4+(-2)}{2},\: \frac{-6+(-3)}{2}\bigg)\\\\ = \bigg(\frac{4-2}{2},\: \frac{-6-3}{2}\bigg)\\\\ = \bigg(\frac{2}{2},\: \frac{-9}{2}\bigg)\\\\ = (1,\: -4.5)$
