Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints. D(5,-3) and E(15,-1)

Answer 1

Answer:

(10, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint Formula is:

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

m= (((5+15)/2) , ((-3+-1)/2))

m= ((20/2) , (-4 / 2))

m= (10) , (-2)

m= (10, -2)

Answer 2

$\text{Find the midpoint by using the midpoint formula:}\\\\(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})\\\\\text{Plug in your coordinates and solve:}\\\\(\frac{5+15}{2},\frac{-3-1}{2})\\\\(\frac{20}{2},\frac{-4}{2})\\\\(10,-2)\\\\\boxed{\text{Midpoint: (10,-2)}}$
