| Solved by pluggable solver: Midpoint |
The first point is (x1,y1). The second point is (x2,y2) Since the first point is (9, 10), we can say (x1, y1) = (9, 10) So Since the second point is (-15, -2), we can also say (x2, y2) = (-15, -2) So Put this all together to get: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finding the x coordinate of the midpoint: Add up the corresponding x coordinates x1 and x2 and divide that sum by 2 X Coordinate of Midpoint = X Coordinate of Midpoint = X Coordinate of Midpoint = X Coordinate of Midpoint = So the x coordinate of the midpoint is -3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finding the y coordinate of the midpoint: Add up the corresponding y coordinates y1 and y2 and divide that sum by 2 Y Coordinate of Midpoint = Y Coordinate of Midpoint = Y Coordinate of Midpoint = Y Coordinate of Midpoint = So the y coordinate of the midpoint is 4 =============================================================================== Summary: The midpoint of the segment joining the two points (9, 10) and (-15, -2) is (-3, 4). So the answer is (-3, 4) |
