Question

How do you find the midpoint of (-5,4) and (3,-2)?

Answer 1

The mid point is :
`= (-1 , 1)`

Explanation:

The coordinates are:
`(-5,4) = color(blue)(x_1 , y_1)`

`(3,-2) = color(blue)(x_2, y_2)`

The midpoint is calculated using formula:
Mid point `= color(blue)((x_1 + x_2) / 2 , (y_1 + y_2) / 2 )`

`= ((-5+3))/2 , (4 +(-2))/ 2`

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

`= (-1, 1)`
