Question

find the midpoint of (2, -1) (-6, 0)

Answer 1

Answer: $(-2,-\frac{1}{2} )$

Step-by-step explanation:

Add up both x's and y's and divide them by 2

$(X_m,Y_m)=(\frac{X_1+X_2}{2},\frac{Y_1+Y_2}{2})$

$(X_m,Y_m)=(\frac{2+(-6)}{2},\frac{-1+0}{2})$

$(X_m,Y_m)=(\frac{-4}{2},\frac{-1}{2})$

$(X_m,Y_m)=(-2,-\frac{1}{2} )$
