Question

(2.5,-7) (-6.2, -3.8) find the midpoint for each segment with the given endpoints

Answer 1

Given the endpoints of the segment as;

$\mleft(2.5,-7\mright),(-6.2,-3.8)$

The formula to find the midpoints can be seen below.

$M=\frac{(x_1+x_2)}{2};\frac{_{}(y_1+y_2)}{2}$

From the question,

$\begin{gathered} x_1=2.5_{} \\ x_2=-6.2 \\ y_1=-7 \\ y_2=-3.8 \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} M=\frac{2.5+(-6.2)}{2};\frac{-7+(-3.8)}{2} \\ M=(-1.85,5.4) \end{gathered}$

Answer:

$M=(-1.85,5.4)$
