Question

Find midpoint of segment D(5,-6) E(-9,2)

Answer 1

find midpoint of segment D(5,-6) E(-9,2)

we know that

the formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

`M((x1+x2)/(2),(y1+y2)/(2))`

substitute the given values

`\begin{gathered} M((5-9)/(2),(-6+2)/(2)) \\ \\ M((-4)/(2),(-4)/(2)) \\ \\ M(-2,-2) \end{gathered}`

therefore

the midpoint is the point (-2,-2)
