could any one tell me the midpoint of these points and how to find them?
(2,-1) and (5,-5)
ii appreciiate iit.
sure, average the x, y
xmid= (2+5)/2=3.5
ymid=(-1-5)/2=-3
thanxxx :)
Certainly! To find the midpoint between two points, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Take the average of the x-coordinates of the two points.
In this case, the x-coordinates of the given points are 2 and 5. To find the average, add them together and divide by 2:
(2 + 5) / 2 = 7 / 2 = 3.5
Step 2: Take the average of the y-coordinates of the two points.
In this case, the y-coordinates of the given points are -1 and -5. To find the average, add them together and divide by 2:
(-1 + (-5)) / 2 = (-6) / 2 = -3
Step 3: Put the average values from Step 1 and Step 2 together as the coordinates of the midpoint.
The midpoint of the given points (2,-1) and (5,-5) is (3.5, -3).
So, the midpoint of the points (2,-1) and (5,-5) is (3.5, -3).
