Question

find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points p₁ and p₂. p₁ = (-2, 4); p₂ = (9, 0) the midpoint of the line segment joining the points p₁ and p₂ is . (simplify your answer. type an ordered pair.)

Explanation:

Step1: Find x - coordinate of mid - point

$\frac{-2 + 9}{2}=\frac{7}{2}$

Step2: Find y - coordinate of mid - point

$\frac{4+0}{2}=2$

Answer:

$(\frac{7}{2},2)$
