Question

What is the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are (-1, 4) and (3, 6)?

Answer 1

`"midpoint(" (-1,4) ,(3,6))=(1,5)`

Explanation:

The formula for finding the midpoint between two points in 2-space `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` is the following

`( (x_1+x_2)/2,(y_1+y_2)/2)`

So the midpoint of `(-1,4)` and `(3,6)` is `((-1+3)/2,(4+6)/2)=(1,5)`
