Question

midpoint of the line segment joining the points - 5,3/2 and - 6,1/5​

Answer 1

Answer:

let Midpoint be P(x,y)

By midpt formula,

(-5-6)/2 ,( 3/2+1/5)/2

Answer 2

Therefore the co-ordinate of mid point is $=(\frac{-11}{2},\frac{17}{20})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Mid point : The middle point of a line segment by joining two point.

How to find Mid point:

• The average of x co-ordinate and y co-ordinate.

If (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are two point,

Then the co-ordinate of mid point is

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

Here x₁= -5 ,$y_1=\frac{3}{2}$  , $x_2= -6$ and  $y_2= \frac{1}{5}$

Therefore the co-ordinate of mid point is

$=(\frac{-5+(-6)}{2} ,\frac{\frac{3}{2}+\frac{1}{5} }{2} )$

$=(\frac{-11}{2},\frac{17}{20})$
