Question

Midpoint of the segment between the points (−5,13) and (6,4)

Answer 1

Answer: $(0.5,8.5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the following formula to find the Midpoint "M":

$M=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Given the points (-5,13) and (6,4) can identify that:

$x_1=-5\\x_2=6\\\\y_1=13\\y_2=4$

The final step is to substitute values into the formula.

Therefore, the midpoint of the segment between the points (-5,13) and (6,4) is:

$M=(\frac{-5+6}{2},\frac{13+4}{2})\\\\M=(\frac{1}{2},\frac{17}{2})\\\\M=(0.5,8.5)$

Answer 2

Answer:

$(\frac{1}{2},\frac{17}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint formula is

$( \frac{x + x_1}{2},\frac{y + y_1}{2})$

The given points are,

(-5,13) and (6,4)

$( \frac{-5 + 6}{2},\frac{13+4}{2})$

$( \frac{1}{2},\frac{17}{2})$

Hence the midpoint of the segment between (-5,13) and (6,4) is

$( \frac{1}{2},\frac{17}{2})$
