Question 495013: X has coordinates (a,3a), and Y has coordinates (-5a,0). What are the coordinates of the midpoint of XY? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! X has coordinates (a,3a), and Y has coordinates (-5a,0). What are the coordinates of the midpoint of XY?
----
midpoint:
x-coordinate = (a-5a)/2 = -2a
y-coordinate = (3a+0)/2 = (3/2)a
-------------------------------------
midpoint = (-2a, (3/2)a)
