Question

YOU'LL GET A FAN AND MEDAL IF YOU ANSWER THIS QUESTION :) what is the midpoint of a segment with the endpoints a(5,-1) b(-3,7)

Answer 1

To get the x coordinate of the midpoint, do (x1+x2)/2, for the y coordinate (y1+y2)/2

Answer 2

idk how to do any of it... can you give me the answer? :)

Answer 3

I can show you how to do it,

Answer 4

thank you so much

Answer 5

Okay so think of your coordinates as (x1,y1) (x2,y2) so the x coordinate of the midpoint is going to be (x1+x2)/2 or (5-3)/2

Answer 6

they dont have a drawing of it lol... but ik my answer choices are (1,3) (0,4) (2,4) or (-1,-2)

Answer 7

Yeah, doing (5-3)/2 gives you the x coordinate of it

Answer 8

okay so i got 1 :)

Answer 9

whwhat do do for the y?

Answer 10

(-1+7)/2

Answer 11

okay I got 2. My answer choice is -1,-2...so they're supposed to be negative then? lol

Answer 12

-1+7=6

6/2=3

so your final answer is (1,3)
