Question

find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints. (-2, 3) and (8, -2)

Explanation:

Step1: Midpoint formula for x-coordinate

Calculate average of x-values:
$\frac{-2 + 8}{2}$

Step2: Compute x-coordinate result

Simplify the x-expression:
$\frac{6}{2} = 3$

Step3: Midpoint formula for y-coordinate

Calculate average of y-values:
$\frac{3 + (-2)}{2}$

Step4: Compute y-coordinate result

Simplify the y-expression:
$\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

Answer:

$(3, \frac{1}{2})$
