Question

What is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (-5.5,-6.1) and (-0.5,9.1)

Answer 1

(-3, 1.5)

Explanation:

Take the averages of the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the 2 points

-5.5 + -0.5 = -6. Divide by 2 to get the average: -6/2 = -3. So, -3 will be the x coordinate of the midpoint.

-6.1 + 9.1 = 3. Divide by 2 to get the average: 3/2 = 1.5. So, 1.5 will be the y coordinate of the midpoint.

The midpoint will be (-3, 1.5)
