How do you find the midpoint of A(-2,4) and M(3,1)?

Answer 1

To find the midpoint of two points, you can use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula states that the coordinates of the midpoint between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) can be found by taking the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates.

Using the midpoint formula, the midpoint between A(-2,4) and M(3,1) can be found as follows:

Midpoint x-coordinate = (x₁ + x₂) / 2 Midpoint y-coordinate = (y₁ + y₂) / 2

Substituting the given coordinates: Midpoint x-coordinate = (-2 + 3) / 2 = 1/2 Midpoint y-coordinate = (4 + 1) / 2 = 5/2

Therefore, the midpoint of A(-2,4) and M(3,1) is (1/2, 5/2).

The midpoint #= (1/2, 5/2)#

The coordinates are: A# (-2,4) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1#

M #(3,1) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2#

The midpoint is calculated using formula: midpoint #=( (x_1+x_2)/2, (y_1+y_2)/2)#

#= ((-2+3)/2, (4+1)/2)#

#= (1/2, 5/2)#

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.
