Question

find the coordinates of the midpoint of the following pairs of points. submit your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth when necessary. (1, - 3) and (4, 5) the midpoint is ()

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$. Here $x_1=1,y_1 = - 3,x_2=4,y_2 = 5$.

Step2: Calculate x - coordinate of mid - point

$x=\frac{1 + 4}{2}=\frac{5}{2}=2.5$

Step3: Calculate y - coordinate of mid - point

$y=\frac{-3 + 5}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1$

Answer:

$(2.5,1)$
