What is the midpoint of the segment connecting the points (5,3) and (7,-2)?

Answer 1

Mason Adams

#(6,1/2)#

The arithmetic mean of the endpoints' coordinates is the segment's midpoint.

f#"for "A(5,3)" & "B(7,-2)#

#"the midpoint is: "M_(AB)((5+7)/2,(3+ -2)/2)#

#M_(AB)(6,1/2)#

The midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is calculated using the formula:

Midpoint = ((x₁ + x₂) / 2, (y₁ + y₂) / 2)

Given the points (5,3) and (7,-2), we can apply this formula to find the midpoint of the segment connecting them.

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.
