Question

What is the midpoint of between -5-2i and 3+8i

Answer 1

The given points are

`(-5-2i),(3+8i)`

These are complex numbers. They work as two-coordinates points because complex numbers have a real part and a complex part. The real part is the horizontal coordinate, and the complex part is the vertical coordinate.

To find the midpoint, we use the following formula

`\begin{gathered} M=((-5+3)/(2),(-2+8)/(2)i) \\ M=((-2)/(2),(6)/(2)i) \\ M=(-1,3i) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the middle point is (-1, 3i).
