Question

How do you find the midpoint between (5,-6), (7,-9)?

Answer 1

`(6, - (15) / (2))`

Explanation:

We have: `(5, -6)` and `(7, -9)`

Let's use the mid-point formula:

`=>` Midpoint `= ((x_(1) + x_(2)) / (2), (y_(1) + y_(2)) / (2))`

`=>` Midpoint `= ((5 + 7) / (2), ((- 6) + (- 9)) / (2))`

`=>` Midpoint `= ((12) / (2), - (15) / (2))`

`=>` Midpoint `= (6, - (15) / (2))`
