Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints.
(2, 10) and (-3,6)

Answer 1

`M=(-.5,8)`

Explanation:

Use the midpoint formula:

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

Identify your values:

`x_1=2\\x_2=-3\\y_1=10\\y_2=6`

Substitute:

`M=((2+(-3))/(2),(10+6)/(2))`

Combine terms:

`M=((-1)/(2),(16)/(2))`

Simplify:

`M=(-.5,8)`
