Question

What is the midpoint of (-1, 8) and (-5, -6)?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The mid-point of the line segment joining the points (
`x_(1)`,
`y_(1)`) and (
`x_(2),y_(2)`) is given by (
`(x_1+x_2)/(2)`,
`(y_1+y_2)/(2)`).

Hence the mid-point of (-1,8) and (-5,-6) is (
`(-1-5)/(2)`,
`(8-6)/(2)`)=(-3,1)
