Question

How do you find the midpoint of (-24,2) (23,-25)?

Answer 1

`(-1/2,-23/2)`

Explanation:

Given 2 coordinate points `(x_1.y_1)" and " (x_2,y_2)` then the midpoint is found using `color(blue)"midpoint formula"`

`color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(1/2(x_1+x_2),1/2(y_1+y_2))color(white)(a/a)|)))`

The 2 points here are (-24 ,2) and (23 ,-25)

midpoint = `[1/2(-24+23),1/2(2-25)]=(-1/2,-23/2)`
