Question

what is the mid point of the segment shown below (-3,4) (-6,-1)

Answer 1

( −3 , 4 ) and ( −6 ,−1 )

midpoint:

x = (x1+x2)/2 = (-3 - 6)/2 = -9/2 = − 4.5

y = (y1+y2)/2 = (4 - 1)/2 = 3/2 = 1.5

Answer

Midpoint M(− 4.5, 1.5)

Answer 2

$( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} \frac{y1 + y2}{2} ) = ( \frac{ - 3 + ( - 6)}{2} \: \: \frac{4 + ( - 1)}{2} ) \\ = ( \frac{ - 9}{2} \: \: \frac{3}{2} )$
