Question

How do you find the midpoint of (5, 2) and (-1, -2)?

Answer 1

The midpoint `= (2, 0 )`

Explanation:

`(5,2) = color(blue)(x_1 , y_1`
`( -1 , -2 )= color(blue)(x_2 , y_2`

The midpoint is calculated using formula:
Midpoint `= ((x_1 + x_2)/2 , (y_1 + y_2)/2)`

`= ((5 + (-1))/2 , (2+ (-2))/2)`

`= ((4)/2 , (0 )/2)`

`= (2, 0 )`
