Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below (-1 ,2) (7, 3)

Answer 1

Midpoint is (x2+x1) /2 , y2+y1 /2)
(7-1 /2, 3+2 /2)
=(3,5/2)

Answer 2

Answer: Midpoint would be,

`(3,2.5)`

Explanation:

Wec know that,

The coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment having the endpoints
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)` are,

`((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

Hence, the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment having endpoints (-1 ,2) and (7, 3) would be,

`((-1+7)/(2),(2+3)/(2))`

`=((6)/(2), (5)/(2))`

`=(3,2.5)`
