The endpoints of segment EF are E(-2, 3) and F(5, -3). Find the coordinates of the midpoint of EF.

Question

hartnn · Answer

the formula for co-ordinates of mid-point (m,n) when two points  (x1,y1)(x2,y2) given is:
m=(x1+x2)/2
n=(y1+y2)/2
does this help ?

campbell_st · Answer

just average the x values and average the y values to find the mid point

@hartnn the answers are A.(3, 0),B.(½, 2),C.(1 ½, 0),D.(0, 5)

hartnn · Answer

what is the average of 5 and -2
or what is (5-2)/2  ??

anonymous · Answer

that would be 4

campbell_st · Answer

nope make sure you include the brackets as Hartnn has shown when you use the calculator

hartnn · Answer

nopes.
(5-2)/2=3/2=1 1/2
and only one option has x co-ordinate as 1 1/2

anonymous · Answer

so it would be 1 and one half and 0 1 half

hartnn · Answer

i couldn't understand what u said,but only C. has x-coordinate as 1 1/2
