Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points P1 and P2

P1= (5,2)
P2= (-4,3)

The midpoint is _______ (Type an ordered pair. Use integers or simplified fractions for any numbers in the expression.)

since the midpoint is halfway between the ends, its coordinates are the average of the x and y of the ends.

To find the midpoint of a line segment joining two points, you can use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula states that the coordinates of the midpoint (x, y) can be found by taking the average of the coordinates of the two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).

Therefore, to find the midpoint of the line segment joining points P1(5, 2) and P2(-4, 3), we can use the midpoint formula:

Midpoint (x, y) = ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2)

Plugging in the coordinates of P1 and P2:

Midpoint (x, y) = ((5 + (-4)) / 2, (2 + 3) / 2)

Simplifying the expression:

Midpoint (x, y) = (1 / 2, 5 / 2)

Therefore, the midpoint of the line segment joining points P1 and P2 is (1/2, 5/2).
