Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of line AB given the coordinates: A(-1,

5) B(2,-3)*


Answer 1

`\bold{M_(AB)\left(\frac12\,,\ 1\right)}`

Explanation:

The midpoint of AB coordinates are:
`M_(AB)\left(x_M\,,\ y_M\right)` where:

`x_M=\frac{x_A+x_B}2=\frac{-1+2}2=\frac12\\\\y_M=\frac{y_A+y_B}2=\frac{5+(-3)}2=\frac{2}2=1`
