How do you find the midpoint of (5.6, -2.8), (8.1, 9.4)?

Answer 1

To find the midpoint of two points, you can use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula is ( (x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2 ). Plugging in the coordinates (5.6, -2.8) and (8.1, 9.4) into the formula, we get the midpoint as ( (5.6 + 8.1) / 2, (-2.8 + 9.4) / 2 ). Simplifying this, the midpoint is (6.85, 3.3).

#(6.85,3.3)#

For this, we will use the midpoint formula: #M = ((x_1+x_2)/2,(y_1+y_2)/2)#, which basically involves finding the middle of the x coordinates, and the middle of the y coordinates. - #x_1# and #y_1# are the coordinates of the first point #(5.6,-2.8)# - #x_2# and #y_2# are the coordinates of the second point #(8.1,9.4)# - It doesn't matter which one we call the first or second point

Applying the formula: #M = ((5.6+8.1)/2,(-2.8+9.4)/2)# #= ((13.7)/2,(6.6)/2)# #=(6.85,3.3)#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
