| Solved by pluggable solver: Midpoint |
The first point is (x1,y1). The second point is (x2,y2) Since the first point is (3, 1), we can say (x1, y1) = (3, 1) So Since the second point is (9, -11), we can also say (x2, y2) = (9, -11) 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 6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -5 =============================================================================== Summary: The midpoint of the segment joining the two points (3, 1) and (9, -11) is (6, -5). So the answer is (6, -5) |
