Question

What is the midpoint of a segment with These endpoints (-6,-9) and (16,5)

Answer 1

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-9})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{16}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ 16 -6}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 5 -9}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{10}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-4}{2} \right)\implies (5~~,~-2)$
