Answer:
midpoint = [tex](9\frac{1}{2} , -3\frac{1}{2} )[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the midpoint of a line segment, you have to find the average of the x and y-values of the end-points, i.e., add the x-coordinate values and divide the answer by 2, and do the same for the y-coordinate values.
• midpoint = [tex](\frac{x_{2} + x_1}{2}, \frac{y_2 + y_1}{2} )[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{9 + 10}{2}, \frac{3 + (-10)}{2} )[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{19}{2}, \frac{-7}{2} )[/tex]
= [tex](9\frac{1}{2} , -3\frac{1}{2} )[/tex]
