Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the following points? (2, -3) (4, 2)?

Question

(1/2, 2)

(3, -1/2)

(5, 1/2)

(3/2, 1)

none of these

Answer 1

The formula for finding the midpoint is as follows:

M = {[(x1 + x2)/2] , [(y1 + y2)/2]}

So let (x1, y1)= (2, -3) and let  (x2, y2)= (4, 2)

So M = {[(2 + 4)/2] , [(-3 + 2)/2]}

     M = {3, -1/2}        

Answer 2

im not sure if this is rite but i got (2,1)

so id say none of them.

Answer 3

Just average the x's and average the y's to get the midpoint.

You average them by adding them together and dividing by two.

EX:

( (x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2 ) will be the new point

( (2+4)/2 , (-3+2) / 2 ) = ( 3 , -1/2)
