Question

A segment has endpoints A(-3,5) and B(2,1) find the midpoint M of the segment

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

Answer 2

The midpoint of the given segment is (-0.5, 3)

Explanation:

The formula for mid-point is
`\left((x_(1)+x_(2))/(2)\right) \text { and }\left((y_(1)+y_(2))/(2)\right)`

Now, from the given question endpoints A (-3,5) and B (2,1)

We know that
`x_(1)=-3 \text { and } x_(2)=2 \text { and } y_(1)=5 \text { and } y_(2)=1`

Substituting the values in the mid-point formula we get

x-coordinate is
`\left((x_(1)+x_(2))/(2)\right)=\left((-3+2)/(2)\right)=(-1)/(2)=-0.5`

y-coordinate is
`\left((y_(1)+y_(2))/(2)\right)=\left((5+1)/(2)\right)=(6)/(2)=3`

Hence, midpoint of the given endpoints is (-0.5,3) Thus we found the midpoint of the segment of the given end points.
