Question

.

Answer 1

The coordinates of the mid point of the distance from two different points is :

Mid Point (x,y) = \((\cfrac{x_1 + x_2}{2} , \cfrac{y_1 + y_2}{2} )\)

Answer 2

Here you have \(x_1 \) = - 5 and \(y_1 = -9\)

Also, \(x_2\) = 0 and \(y_2 = 0 \)

Answer 3

Yeah @vera_ewing - but it is not always true, sometimes that 2 in denominator may cut out.

Anyways, can you now put the values of x1 , x2, y1 , y2 in the equations...

Answer 4

Yeah @vera_ewing , in this case the coordinates of the points will be negative.
The equation is :

x = \(\cfrac{x_1 + x_2}{2} \) and y = \( \cfrac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \)

x is the x-coordinate of the mid point
y is the y coordinate of the mid point.

Answer 5

Yep. Right!

Answer 6

Yeah, that's it. Very Good.

Answer 7

You're welcome. And Best of Luck!
