Question

What is the midpoint of the segment below? ( 3,5)(-6,-6)

Answer 1

The answer above is correct, but in decimal form it's

(-1.5,-0.5)

Explanation:

Answer 2

The mid-point is:

`=((-3)/(2),(-1)/(2))`

Explanation:

We are given:

`(x_1,x_2) = (3,5)\\(y_1,y_2) = (-6,-6)`

We have to find the midpoint of the segment formed by these points.

The formula for mid-point is:

`Mid-point=((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_1)/(2))\\ Putting\ the\ values\\Mid-point=((3-6)/(2),(5-6)/(2))\\=((-3)/(2),(-1)/(2))` ..
