Question

What is the midpoint of segment shown below (2,4) (2,-7)

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

(2, - 1.5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a segment with endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

( $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}$, $\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2}$ )

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 7 ) , then

midpoint = ( $\frac{2+2}{2}$, $\frac{4-7}{2}$ ) = ( $\frac{4}{2}$, $\frac{-3}{2}$ ) = (2, - 1.5 )
