Question

what is the midpoint of a segment with endpoints (-3, 2) and (7, -5)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$(2,-1.5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint formula goes as follows:

$(x,y)=(\frac{x1+x2}{2} , \frac{y1+y2}{2})$

Lets plug in our values, let x1 be -3, x2 be 7, y1 be 2, y2 be -5.

$(\frac{-3+7}{2} , \frac{2+-5}{2})$

Solve numerators

$(\frac{4}{2} , \frac{-3}{2})$

Solve

$(2 , -1.5)$

Therefore the midpoint must be at $(2,-1.5)$
