Answer:
The midpoint between (-8,5) and (2,-2) is (-3, 1.5)
Solution:
Given that two points are (-8,5) and (2,-2)
Here, [tex]x_{1}=-8 ; y_{1}=5 ; \mathrm{} x_{2}=2 ; y_{2}=-2[/tex]
To find the mid-point values we use the given formula,
Midpoint for x = [tex]\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}[/tex]
Midpoint for y = [tex]\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}[/tex]
Here we have to find out the mid-point between (-8,5) and (2,-2). Substituting the values, we get
Midpoint for x = [tex]\frac{-8+2}{2} = \frac{-6}{2}[/tex] = -3
Thus midpoint for x = -3
Midpoint for [tex]y= \frac{5-2}{2} = \frac{3}{2}[/tex] = 1.5
Thus midpoint for y = 1.5
Therefore the midpoint between (-8,5) and (2,-2) = (-3, 1.5)
