Question

Find the midpoint of a line segment PQ if the co-ordinates of P and Q are(-5, 7)and (-3, 9) respecitvely.

Answer 1

Answer:

(-4,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

midpoint (x,y) =[ (x1 +X2)/2 ,( y1+y2)/2 ]

= [ (-5-3)/2, (7+9)/2]

= [-8/2, 16/2]

= (-4,8)

Answer 2

Answer:

(-4+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x, y) consider as midpoint of pQ

p=(x1, y2)=(-5,7)

Q=(x2, y2)=(-3,9)

$x = \frac{ ( - 3 + - 5)}{2} = \frac{( - 8)}{2} = - 4$

$y =\frac{9 + 7}{2} = \frac{16}{2} = 8$

(x,y)=(-4,8)

$(x,y)=(-4,8)$
