Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints.
(-1,-5) and (8, -2)

Answer 1

To Find :-

The midpoint of the like segment having (-1,5) and (8,-2) as their endpoints.

Solution :-

Midpoint formula :-

`\bf \left( (x_1 + x_2)/(2) , (y_1 + y_2)/(2) \right)`

Here ,

x1 = -1

x2 = 8

y1 = 5

y2 = -2

`\longrightarrow ( - 1 + 8)/(2) ,(5 + - 2)/(2)`

`\longrightarrow ( 7)/(2 ),(7)/(2)`
