Question

What is the midpoint of AB if A = (−2, 2) and B = (3, −1)? Enter your answer in the boxes below.

Answer 1

The answer is 0.5,0.5

Answer 2

Answer:

$(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment having the endpoints $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ are,

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Here,

$x_1=-2, y_1=2, x_2 = 3, y_2=-1$

Hence, the coordinates of the midpoint of segment AB are,

$(\frac{-2+3}{2},\frac{2-1}{2})$

$(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2})$
