Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with end coordinates of:
(
−
2
,
−
4
)
and
(
−
1
,
−
5
)

Give coordinates as decimals where appropriate

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Midpoint formula is

$M=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$ where the x's and y's come from the coordinates of the endpoints. Filling in:

$M=(\frac{-2+(-1)}{2},\frac{-4+(-5)}{2})=(\frac{-3}{2},\frac{-9}{2})=(-1.5,-4.5)$
