Question

What is the midpoint between point A and B if point A is at (7, - 4) and point B is at (- 9, 5)

Answer 1

To find the midpoint between two points, we average the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates separately.

The x-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates of points A and B:
x-coordinate = (7 + (-9)) / 2
x-coordinate = -2 / 2
x-coordinate = -1

The y-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the y-coordinates of points A and B:
y-coordinate = (-4 + 5) / 2
y-coordinate = 1 / 2
y-coordinate = 0.5

Therefore, the midpoint between point A (7, -4) and point B (-9, 5) is (-1, 0.5).
