Question

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of GH with endpoints (-2,5) and
H(4,1)?

Answer 1

(1, 3)

Explanation:

Given coordinates of 2 endpoints, G(-2, 5) and H(4, 1), midpoint of AB is calculated as shown below:

Midpoint (M) of GH, for G(-2, 5) and H(4, 1) is given as:

`M((x_1 + x_2)/(2), (y_1 + y_2)/(2))`

Let
`G(-2, 5) = (x_1, y_1)`

`H(4, 1) = (x_2, y_2)`

Thus:

`M((-2 + 4)/(2), (5 + 1)/(2))`

`M((2)/(2), (6)/(2))`

`M(1, 3)`

Coordinates of the midpoint of GH = (1, 3).
