Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment that joins the two given points.
(x, y) = (−53, 19)
and
(x, y) = (19, −38)

Answer 1

There is a formula for this

Answer 2

Gimme a sec

Answer 3

this is timed ): help

Answer 4

\[M = \frac{ (x _{1} + x _{2} ) }{ 2 } , \frac{ (y _{1} + y _{2} }{ 2 }\]

Answer 5

Input the coordinates, then solve

Answer 6

\[M = \frac{ -53 + 19 }{ 2 } , \frac{ 19 + -38 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 7

\[M = \frac{ -34 }{ 2 } , \frac{ -19 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 8

\[M = -17, -9.5\]

Answer 9

M = midpoint

Answer 10

should i put fraction or no

Answer 11

Is this multiple choice?

Answer 12

no fill in

Answer 13

I would gave it as -9.5, unless your teacher has instructed or showed otherwise

Answer 14

Reason is, -9.5 is easier to graph with, than -19/2

Answer 15

With -9.5 you just take the point in-between -9 and -10, with -19/2 you would go down 19 steps on the y axis from point (0,0), then cut that distance in half.

tl;dr, -9.5 is the way to go

Answer 16

Looks good

Answer 17

ok cool
