What is the midpoint of a segment in the complex plane with endpoints at 3 – 2i and 17 – 8i?
In the complex plane, the two given points are represented by \((3,-2)\) and \((17,-8)\). The midpoint would then be
\(\left(\dfrac{3+17}2,\dfrac{-2+(-8)}2\right)=(10,-5)\)
which represents the complex number \(10-5i\).
