Question

What is the midpoint of (-1,5) (5,5)

Answer 1

(2,5)

Explanation:

The points are on the same y, which is 5, so we only have to find the distance between the x values.

Distance formula =
`M = (x_(1) + x_(2) )/(2)`

`M = (-1 + 5)/(2)`

Mid = \frac{4}{2} [tex]

Mid = 2

Answer 2

To find the midpoint, add the two X values and divide by 2 and add the two Y values and divide by 2.

-1 + 5 = 4/2 = 2

5 +5 = 10 /2 = 5

Midpoint = (2,5)
