To find the midpoint \( M \) of a line segment with endpoints \( A(x_1, y_1) \) and \( B(x_2, y_2) \), you can use the midpoint formula:
\[ M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right) \]
Given the points:
- \( A(-1.4, 2.5) \)
- \( B(2.6, -1.5) \)
Substituting the coordinates into the formula:
-
For the x-coordinate of the midpoint: \[ \frac{-1.4 + 2.6}{2} = \frac{1.2}{2} = 0.6 \]
-
For the y-coordinate of the midpoint: \[ \frac{2.5 + (-1.5)}{2} = \frac{1.0}{2} = 0.5 \]
Thus, the midpoint \( M \) is \( (0.6, 0.5) \).
In decimal value to the tenth place, the midpoint of segment \( AB \) is: \[ (0.6, 0.5) \]
