Question

Help finding a midpoint please!

Answer 1

I need to find the midpoint between the focus (−2, 5) and a directrix of y = 13.

Answer 2

If you look at the picture I drew previously you will see that the point on the line y = 13 that is directly above the point (-2,5) is (-2,13). Find the midpoint of that segment.

Answer 3

I have 9, I just want to check and make sure its right.

Answer 4

The midpoint would be an ordered pair.

Answer 5

(1.5, 5.5)? I got 9 by adding 5 and 13 then dividing by 2 since they both had the same X's.

Answer 6

To find the midpoint: add the x values and divide by 2
add the y values and divide by 2

Answer 7

I did, that is how I got (1.5, 5.5)

Answer 8

What is -2 + -2?

Answer 9

-2+5=3/2=1.5

-2+13=11/2=5.5
