Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints. (6, - 8) and (- 4, - 5)

Answer 1

`~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-8})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-5}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ -4 +6}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -5 -8}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ 2 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -13 }{2} \right)\implies \left(1~~,~-6(1)/(2) \right)`
