Question

Numbers that lies exactly half way between-2,4 and 1, 7​

Answer 1

(- 0.5, 5.5 )

Explanation:

Using the midpoint formula

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

(
`(x_(1)+x_(2) )/(2)` ,
`(y_(1)+y_(2) )/(2)` )

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 7) , then

midpoint = (
`(-2+1)/(2)`,
`(4+7)/(2)` ) = (
`(-1)/(2)`,
`(11)/(2)` ) = ( - 0.5, 5.5 )
