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 :-

$\bf \left( \dfrac{x_1 + x_2}{2} , \dfrac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)$

Here ,

x1 = -1

x2 = 8

y1 = 5

y2 = -2

$\longrightarrow \dfrac{ - 1 + 8}{2} ,\dfrac{5 + - 2}{2}$

$\longrightarrow \dfrac{ 7}{2 },\dfrac{7}{2}$
