By definition, the midpoint is given by:
\(m = (\frac{x1+x2}{2}, \frac{y1+y2}{2})\)
Part A:
For the line segment we have:
\(m = \frac{-9+6}{2}\)
\(m= \frac{-3}{2}\)
\(m = -1.5\)
Answer:
the coordinate of the midpoint of the segment is:
B. -1.5
Part B:
For line segment HX we have:
\(m = (\frac{-1+7}{2}, \frac{3-1}{2})\)
\(m = (\frac{6}{2}, \frac{2}{2})\)
\(m = (3,1)\)
Answer:
the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment is:
A. (3,1)
