Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints.
(-2,3) and (5, -6)

Answer 1

The midpoint is ( 1.5, -1.5)

Explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

( -2+5)/2 = 3/2 =1.5

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

( 3-6)/2 = -3/2 =-1.5

The midpoint is ( 1.5, -1.5)
