Given the points:
P ( -6, - 1 )
Q ( 1, 2 )
x1 = -6
x2 = 1
y1 = -1
y2 = 2
Determine the midpoint.
Midpoint formula
M = ( x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2
Solution:
Substitute the given values of x1, x2, y1, and y2 to the midpoint formula.
M = (-6 + 1)/2 , ( -1 + 2)/2
M = -5/2 , -½
Final answer:
Midpoints ( -5/2, -½)
