Question

How do you find the midpoint of (1.8,-1) (-6.3,5.2)?

Answer 1

The midpoint: `= (-2.25 , 2.1)`

Explanation:

`(1.8,-1) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1`
`(-6.3,5.2) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2`

Midpoint is calculated using formula: `color(blue)(((x_1+x_2)/2 , (y_1+y_2)/2)`

`=( (1.8+(-6.3))/2 , (-1+(5.2))/2)`

`= ((-4.5)/2 , (4.2)/2)`

`= (-2.25 , 2.1)`
