Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with the given endpoints (-4,4) (5,-1)

Answer 1

A : (x₁ , y₁) = (-4 , 4)

B : (x₂ , y₂) = (5 , -1)

Formula of
`\tt{midpoint}` is given by

◈ (x , y) = (x₂ + x₁)/2 , (y₂ + y₁)/2

_________________________________

⇒ (x , y) = (x₂ + x₁)/2 , (y₂ + y₁)/2

⇒ (x , y) = [5+(-4)]/2 , [-1+4]/2

⇒ (x , y) = 1/2 , 3/2

⇒ (x , y) = (0.5 , 1.5)

Answer 2

(1/2), (3/2)

Explanation:

midpoint fomula

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

(5-4)= 1 1/2 = (1/2)

(-1+4)=3 3/2=(3/2)
