Chapter 13.5, Problem 5WE

To determine

To find: the coordinate of the midpoint of the segment

Answer to Problem 5WE

The coordinate of the midpoint is $\left(1.9,0.4\right)$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The points are $\left(2.3,3.7\right)\&\left(1.5,-2.9\right)$

Calculation:

The coordinate of the midpoint

  $\begin{array}{l}M=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)\\ M=\left(\frac{2.3+1.5}{2},\frac{3.7+\left(-2.9\right)}{2}\right)\\ M=\left(\frac{3.8}{2},\frac{0.8}{2}\right)\\ M=\left(1.9,0.4\right)\end{array}$
