Question

what is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (3.2,2.5) and (1.6,-4.5)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Midpoint: (2.4, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint Formula: $(\frac{x1+x2}{2} , \frac{y1+y2}{2} )$

With that in mind,

(3.2 + 1.6)/2 = 2.4

(2.5 - 4.5)/2 = -1

Answer 2

Answer:

(2.4, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, average the x coordinates

(3.2+1.6)/2 = 4.8/2 = 2.4

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, average the y coordinates

(2.5+-4.5)/2 = -2/2 = -1

(2.4, -1)
