Question

How do you find the midpoint of A (-1,5) B (6,-3)?

Answer 1

The midpoint `=((5)/2 , 1)`

Explanation:

A`(-1,5) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1`

B`(6,-3) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2`

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

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

`=((5)/2 , (2)/2)`

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