Question

What is the midpoint between (8, -5) and (2, -2)?

(5, -1.5)
(10, -7)
(3, -1.5)
(5, -3.5)

Answer 1

Use the midpoint formula:
x1 + x2/2, y1 + y2/2

Answer 2

It's not B. Plug the coordinates into the formula to get your answer.

Answer 3

\[\left( 5,-7/2 \right)\approx \left( 5,-3.5 \right)\]

Answer 4

(8 = x1, -5 = y1) and (2 = x2, -2 = y2)

Answer 5

So 8 + 2/2, -5 + (-2)/2
The answer is (5, -3.5).
Once you have the formula you just plug in the numbers and solve. Does that make sense?

Answer 6

oh I get it thx
